> Self-driving trucks were going to upend the trucking industry in ten years, ten years ago.

At the risk of going off on a tangent, we already have the technology to allow self-driving trucks for a few decades now.

The technology is so good that it can even be used to transport multiple containers in one go.

The trick is to use dedicated tracks to run these autonomous vehicles, and have a central authority monitoring and controlling traffic.

These autonomous vehicles typically go by the name railway.



Literally on rails. :D
