I think the flaw here is assuming that the systems around the truck will stay the same - including the truck form factor. Without the required creature comforts of the tractor, you free up a lot of energy (heat&#x2F;cool) and space (bed&#x2F;TV etc...) in the cab.<p>I can also see traffic lanes being created to support commerce, special easement areas for trucks at stops that don&#x27;t have to support showers&#x2F;food&#x2F;bathrooms etc... reducing overall cost.<p>All of this comes at cost to human workers - but it&#x27;s inevitable.
