The others can be regular Army trucks. They're self-driving, but supervised by one operator for the whole convoy. Oskosh had an experimental version in the 2005 DARPA Grand Challenge, and they had something more or less usable by 2010. DoD never really went for it. That concept may reach deployment in some future form, but this version doesn't seem to be worth fielding.
