Though, I agree this is progress, I don't think your analogy is correct here. The progress you're referring to allows 1 person to oversee machines that do several people's work. 1 person = 10 jobs.
With the trucks, you have the same person overseeing his own job, except that it'll be done safer. 1 person = 1 job (safer).
Your analogy would make more sense if the trucks were remotely supervised and 1 person could oversee several trucks via remote connection.

It does not look like a huge change from the person on a wheel. Automatic cars wouldn't be allowed at the roads in one step.
- gtirloni 11y agoIn time, all of that will happen. Right now there is too much (warranted) skepticism that society won't let a driverless truck running around alone. In a few years, after proving that the number of incidents is much less than with human drivers, everybody won't care.
