Indeed.  I find the binary view of self-driving&#x2F;driverless&#x2F;robot lorries somewhat narrow.<p>Furthermore, a lot of these sort of technologies have already made it into lorries and cars, just commonly called &#x27;driver aids&#x27;.  Such as radar controlled cruise control, lane control, etc.<p>Most of lorry hauling takes place on motorways, where the process can be easily automated.  Only when trips from the origin to the motorway and the motorway to the destination could remain in control of the driver.<p>And moreover, this sort of technology could be fitted to lorries <i>very</i> soon.  Fully automated self-driving lorries are still decades off.  Partly of all the minor quirks and issues, but mostly because once more than 50% of the actual lorry driving is automated, there will be less urgency for it.
