> Fuel-stops are going to change completely, what's the point of half of the motels on long-haul drives when your car can drive all night and likely recharge automatically at a stop-point.

Impact will be minimal. Truckers don't pay much, and over the years, truckers business has gone down significantly.

Can you clarify your comment? There is a shortage of truckers in the US (and many other countries from what I understand). What do you mean by "Truckers don't pay much"? Truckers don't pay much to whom?

At the same time, motels aren't likely the big losers here as I believe most long-haul truckers sleep in the beds in the truck
