The Simpsons were way ahead of their times: Maximum Homerdrive (S10.E17). First aired March 28, 1999. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_Homerdrive http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_Homerdrive "During the [trucking] trip [from Springfield to Atlanta], Homer falls asleep and wakes up abruptly at the wheel of the truck due to taking a combination of pep pills and sleeping pills that he bought at a general store. He awakes to discover that the truck drove by itself with its Navitron Autodrive system. He informs other truck drivers, who inform him that he cannot let anyone know about the Autodrive system because it would make all truck drivers lose their jobs. However, Homer tells a passing bus about the system which causes an angry mob of truckers to get in a showdown with Homer, and he survives without the autodrive system. Homer and Bart arrive in Atlanta to finish the shipment on time, and then commandeer a train full of napalm to Springfield."
