Have you actually talked with any truck drivers? Are you sure they want it?

Most deaths are not truck drivers, but drivers of cars who enter in collisions with trucks. And truck drivers would like to make more money in shorter periods of time and not spend this time resting someplace away from home.

I hope autopilots will replace truck drivers soon.

I would assume truck drivers don't want to kill people. No matter how it's done, one person accidentally killing another person tends to fuck up that first person pretty well.

Being involved in a fatal accident is very rare for an individual driver. What is being proposed would be seen as a theoretical good for overall society that paid for by the individual.
