No need for those 300K former drivers to worry. They can cross train as SELF-DRIVING TRUCK ACCIDENT INVESTIGATORS.

300,000 rolling masses of steel and cargo begging the world to hack. OTR drivers only make .52 cents per mile. The law suites will make this a very unattractive option.

That’s 300,000 people that can step into the Disintegration Station and lower the Earth’s population ,that’s what self driving is all about

Goldman Sachs economists predicted that trucking will shed about 300,000 jobs per year starting in about 25 years.
...
Why didn’t they put that in the headline.

They have a hard time seeing this ever happening. There’s just too many variables. What if it needs to make a decision to hit a dog or a human?

The truck manufacturers cannot equip trucks with security systems that use potentially lethal force to defend against property theft. Without a driver, a truck and its contents are just property. Truck hijacking will increase.

Hmmm. Very easy for a disgruntled ex-driver to sabotage a driverless truck. It’ll be interesting to see what happens.

Will they be easier to hijack? A van load of cigarettes, pharmacuticals, or how about Viagra?

Not too worried.
After about the 3rd major “automated” accident, they’ll be back at the drawing board for another 3 years.

We don’t have elevator or switchboard operators.
we don’t have buggy whip manufactures.
Disruptive technology is GOOD.

There will not be automated cars or trucks. The road conditions and human drivers are too diverse to cope with.
