I think there are some good points here but IMHO this is overly focused on flawless 100% of the time L5 autonomy. Many autonomous trucking companies can become economically viable without perfection because 1. They aren’t dealing with consumers directly 2. Can control or focus on specific well understood shipping lanes 3. Can provide more human in the loop assistance for tricky situations. In this way trucking is easier than ride sharing because there is a longer on ramp (no pun intended) for companies to improve tech while being viable businesses

  Not dealing with consumers directly is something that applies to a million businesses. Focusing on specific routes applies to many many businesses too. The ability to provide more human assistance in tricky situations doesn't apply to trains at all. Your claim that they are "describing trains" is utter nonsense.
