    point A and B are already known for each route, so more of the route could be “hardcoded”

    yeah, and it is all good until there is any kind of non-standard situation on that road.

    luckily for truckers, i think that truly self-driving cars are further into the future than their proponents would like you to believe.

      I’m betting garbage trucks actually end up being first. A half dozen trucks per human monitor sitting back at the station, with two guys in a pickup to run out to any problems.

        i would guess these would be last. the garbage cans are not on the highway, they are in potentially hard accessible places, where some maneuvering and judgement may be required.
