Pay off the current generation of truck drivers and tell the next generation to not pursue a career in truck driving. That ways we won't waste millions of dollars arguing with them when what they really want is to be paid (but they'll make up bullshit reasons for about how automated truck driving is bad).

I really like this idea. Continue paying all your drivers to be ride along with the autonomous car for safety reasons and an emergency override. They'll probably get really low insurance rates for having a human assisting. And when they leave or retire don't replace them. That's about the smoothest structural unemployment transition I've ever heard. It won't happen though because just firing, and fighting the protests/lawsuits is probably cheaper.
