I don't quite get how you can have a self driving car but not also a self driving truck. If you have the sensors and code to power a self driving car you ought to be 99.9% of the way to a truck. It should be a relatively small effort to account for a trucks different physics.

Oh wait, I've heard that expressed before! "A mere matter of programming."

You're forgetting about the data.

The data used to train a car is very different from the data useful to trucking.
