Curious, are these pilot programs sending the trucks out completely driverless? Or are there going to be humans in the "cockpit" sort of managing things and taking occasional naps?

Did you read the first paragraph? > San Diego-based startup TuSimple said its self-driving trucks will begin hauling mail between USPS facilities in Phoenix and Dallas to see how the nascent technology might improve delivery times and costs. A safety driver will sit behind the wheel to intervene if necessary and an engineer will ride in the passenger seat.

  Oops. I did skim it, but apparently my skimming skills are terrible. My bad.

Of course not. > A safety driver will sit behind the wheel to intervene if necessary and an engineer will ride in the passenger seat. There are no self driving cars in existence. At least not ones that are even remotely competitive with human drivers.
