But according to this book that is not going to happen. The author says that the real purpose is to get rid of the skilled drivers and replace them with underpaid button pushers.
Will they really do that? What's going to be the situation few years from now?
Just like mercedes 'full self driving' this sounds like its on limited routes where there's been extensive testing. I don't expect truck driving to go full auto on arbitrary roads in the next few years. The tech is not there yet.
