I'm hoping that self-driving trucks result in separate highway lanes, or perhaps even dedicated roads. A road just for self-driving trucks wouldn't need a passing lane, or a breakdown lane (if a truck breaks down, someone can be dispatched to fix it, and it's okay if the whole roadway of autonomous trucks comes to a stop).
(Yes I know, I've just reinvented trains, but trains would likely coexist with this, and they serve different purposes (trucks are better at going over mountains, for instance))
