Waymo and a few others have had self driving trucks on I-45 for a couple of years. It seems like every time we make the drive to Houston to see the in-laws I have spotted one. They always have one or two humans in the cab, so I figure they were all developmental.

During the four years of practice hauls, the self-driving technology was able to complete over 1,200 miles without a human in that truck.

Most over the road drivers do that in two days....
