I could believe the union force, but Waymo have a controlled environment in which to carry on testing, namely depots. Alot have their own purpose built shunter's a specially adapted vehicle to pick up trailers and put them on the loading bays, and to take them off. Why do these exist? A lot of truck drivers cant reverse onto a bay to save their life! The depot will already have copious amounts of cctv in which to enhance the AI driving systems, whilst also being able to keep track of all trailers coming into the yard and leaving via a gatehouse. So just like warehouses have become automated, to me, it seems like the next step in automation is to handle the trailer movements in the depot. They will still need a human, to wind up or down the wheels, and plug the air in, when moving a trailer on or off the bay, but the warehouse can get busy at peak time, and the demand for a shunter to move trailers off the bay so the warehouse doesnt slow down is a real need.
