I wonder if self-driving will enable electric trucks? If you had an electric truck with (say) 150 mile range, it wouldn't be cost effective because the driver would have to sit around for hours waiting for the truck to recharge. Much less of a problem if the truck is self-driving.

Trucks would have automatedly replaceable batteries at truck stops. Swapping batteries will take much less time than refueling.
