Truck drivers must rest for considerable amount of time. For example, in EU truck drivers cannot drive for more than 9-10h per day and there are further restrictions (i.e.weekly)[0], so you either must send few drivers to a prolonged journey or truck will simply stand idling >50% of time. I'd say this reason only is enough to make autonomous trucks economically viable. 0. https://ec.europa.eu/transport/modes/road/social_provisions/driving_time_en https://ec.europa.eu/transport/modes/road/social_provisions/...
