We have two examples to look at:
Waymo, which appears to be doing an excellent job of handling it. Their robotaxis consistently seem to have a better track record than humans (although it's possible the limits put on them taint the comparison.)
Cruise, which had a whole bunch of problems with edge cases and last I knew wasn't allowed to operate anymore.
I'd share the road with a Waymo truck (not that their system can do that yet), I wouldn't want to share it with a Cruise truck.
