    They’ve been working on it a long time and had very little progress.

      I believe you but the intention exists already.

      Meanwhile, there are car manufacturers aiming at building fully eletric long haul vehicles, completely autonomous.

      Mercedes has already had fully successful try outs with robotized city buses that actually worked; drivers were placed on the vehicles just for passengers mental comfort but it was the machine doing all the work. I can’t recall why the program was shutdown but it was considered nonetheless a huge advancement.

      If enough money is put into the challenge, self driving trucks will be a thing and truckers a non-thing, faster than we can expect.
