it’s a good time for them, dispassionately speaking- Ocean freight is down, meaning you’re looking for nearshoring (Mexico and Canadian cross border freight), meaning you want more over the road shipping across large land masses than shipping to a port.
The 75 mph 40 ton AI driven trolley problem … coming soon to an interstate near you!
Will the semi swerve to kill the family of 5 in the Dodge Caravan, or continue forward and smash through the construction site to kill one construction worker.
You could also play a 70 mph hour version of “Red Light/Green Light” when the autonomous semi truck randomly slams its breaks and does a hard stop on the interstate because it’s LiDAR system suddenly perceived an overpass or guard rail on a curve as a brick wall.
We have 20 years before autonomous trucks are a threat to trucking careers … but about 3 years before they are a threat to everyone on the road.

These things are already on the road in Texas. I’d be shitting my pants every time I got on the interstate if I lived there.
I feel like it’ll just never happen, it’s gonna be like 3D movies, just a fad and proof of concept that never catches on for myriad reasons.
