Before we get there, there is a major problem in that we don't have enough young truckers. The average age of truckers is up around 50, and we need a lot of them. Automated trucking is still a long way away - the technology still has quite a long way to go, and after that, the infrastructure and tech has to percolate out (and trucks aren't cheap).
