Sure, but you could also just rob people NOW.
Just go on an open stretch of road in the country side with a firearm and open fire through the truck windows. A truck driver isn't going to be able to defend themselves.
You might argue that this doesn't happen because criminals are afraid of getting caught by the police and sent to jail.
But, if anything, the risks would be even greater for a self driving truck that has dozens of always on cameras recording, GPS tracking, and an emergency police call system.
