The shortage, if there is one, won't last long once the autopilot-enabled truck convoys get going.

Someone in the industry suggested to me that the number of long-haul truckers needed is relatively small. And that’s where autonomous trucks are going to be viable for quite a while. It’s one thing to autopilot a truck down a long straight freeway. It’s another to pilot a truck through city streets.
