I hope there are new limits to trucking and a concentration of those that are licensed to off hours. I-80, for instance, already feels like a truck route more than a human commute route. That said, so many of the accidents (jack knifing) there are trucks in wintery weather, I don't see that being included v1.0 of the new trucking reality.

I-80 always comes to mind when these autonomous vehicle discussions occur. I'll believe in autonomous vehicles when I see them driving across Pennsylvania during a winter storm. There are days where I seriously doubt an autonomous vehicle would be able to navigate out of my driveway.

Your comment makes me think about the interplay of driving and loading. A properly loaded truck can probably be driven by an AI in a way that greatly reduces jack knifing compared to human drivers. But what about improper loading - and if done on purpose to sabotage the endeavour.
