I'm sure it would be possible, but I would assume controlling fish tailing tractor trailers in snow would be on the harder end of the spectrum of automating truck driver problems. It is a hard problem and there is a lot more risk to human life than automating a taxi in a city. Even if they perform better than real life drivers, it seems like we are trending towards requiring perfection and we might be a long way out to a scalable solution.

On the one hand it's hard problem because of all the variables involved, on the other hand it's easy because it's 'just' a physics problem. There is no trying to second guess the intentions of other humans acting weirdly, no trying to decipher hastily erected diversion signs, no trying to interpret what that guy standing in the road waving a sign at you actually wants you to do etc.
