Although the idea of self driving trucks and truckers getting paid more is juxtaposed, I think the premise stems from their network and load matching system rather than the self driving trucks.

My understanding was that the trucking industry had taken huge strides towards improving their network and load matching years ago. Uber's technology may have been revolutionary in the taxi industry but are you sure there's a lot of room for improvement in trucking? I would have guessed the trucking industry was actually more efficient than Uber in these areas.
