Yep. Truckers are toast. Once a true central AI grid is implemented into roadways that autonomous AIs can snap into and access, they'll have situational awareness that could drastically exceed what our own brains are capable of. Plus, AI is able to monitor all the sensors in a vehicle better than a human can--things such as engine temps, tire temps/pressures--heck, even tire wear sensors. What I'm a bit concerned about is Tesla's reliance on image recognition for self driving, versus the lidar tech that is used by most other manufacturers. Like or not, image recognition can be fooled--so can lidar, but lidar is an active technology that creates flowing data points that may be less prone to interpretation errors. Perhaps a melding of the two technologies would be the best solution, so if any discrepancies are detected in one, they can be cross referenced with a second layer of technology, increasing accuracy further.

I do believe this will happen but not in my lifetime. When it takes my county government and local contractors 5 fricking years to add 2 extra lanes to a neighborhood city street, how long would it take for a national road network to be upgraded so it can use this central AI grid that you mentioned? My educated guess is decades.

Factories/storage facilities are already have AI to move stuff around.
There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB. The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed. There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

I think we have a quite good system here in Germany, overtaking on the right is not alowed, only on the left lanes. And it is forbidden to stay on the left lanes, they are only for overtaking. If you overtook a car, you have go back to the right lane again.That said, if it doesn`t make sense to go right again, because there are a lot of trucks on the right lane, you can stay left of the trucks, because you are continueously overtaking, so to say.
And yes, I think longhaul goods should be hauled by train, preferring trucks was a politcal error. Swiss and Austria have a much higher percentage of goods transported by train, because they have the political will to do so.
