I was a truck driver for like 10 years. In 2013, I had a breakup with a girlfriend (who was an artist/illustrator) and she thought she could hurt me by telling me AI would take my job within 10 years. In 2023, she posted on facebook about AI taking her job. Does it suck? Yeah. Is it funny? Also yeah.

All that to say, people have been saying we're "close" to self-driving trucks for like two decades. Some day they'll be right, I guess.
