I think the concept looks good. They will still use truckers for some parts of the trip (and will have to do so for a while). The good thing is that those truckers can work 8 hour shifts close to home. And it won't really be a topic for outsourcing because the latency would be too high, so control centers will have to be somewhat close to the truck (at least same continent).
Semi-autonomous driving of trucks could change the job for the better. It would cost a lot of jobs but then again, few people become truck drivers because they love being on the road for days. For most it's a job and they'd be happy to take another one. And there is currently little evidence that no new jobs would come up as they always have for past disruptions.
