There are many routes which are possible to automate today. Those will become human-free first, leaving the humans to compete for the remaining 95%. Then another 5% of routes will become computer navigable, and the remaining truckers will compete for the remaining jobs. Then between automation and improved maintenance due to the higher regulatory fees afforded by automation, more roads will become auto-navigable by dint of maintenance and standardised marking. There will be a pincer movement, roads coming up to standard, standards converging on what automated trucks need, and automation becoming better at navigating any road. By 2030 there will be far fewer humans driving anything.
