Many of the comments here are overestimating what&#x27;s required for this to have an impact. Driverless trucks only need to cover some large percentage of the driving currently performed by humans to be major economic changers.<p>For example, let&#x27;s say they can only run during daylight hours, in conditions other than rain and snow, only on long-haul routes, and humans will do the &quot;last-mile&quot; piloting on local roads.<p>Now let&#x27;s suppose that for routes that fit those parameters driverless trucks end up taking over 40% of those kinds of routes. That&#x27;s <i>huge</i>. It would absolutely transform the economies of all the states that are looking for truck drivers here. <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;media2.policymic.com&#x2F;bf05a1c9e6b8a55095f8b4726e30b52f.PNG" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;media2.policymic.com&#x2F;bf05a1c9e6b8a55095f8b4726e30b52f...</a>
