So... does anybody know what truck manufacturers are doing? As far I can tell it will take at least 20 years before AV can drop steering wheel and deal with scenarios like police officer routing traffic around accident site. On the other hand even current Google tech should allow for soft* road trains made from 2-4 trucks and only one (active) driver. Also new hardware price would have smaller impact on already expensive vehicles.

*without physical connection like in Australian ones

Daimler have a truck https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9555295 I'm not sure about the police routing around an accident thing. Google's cars can already recognise cyclists hand signals.
