Wait until AI drivers are a bit more reliable -- shit will hit the fan.

What happens when all of a sudden 4,400,000 american (mostly) men lose their jobs? I'm assuming most of these people don't have a degree to fall back on (not that that gets anyone anywhere these days) for a different job.

Not to mention the INCREASE in trucking and greenhouse gas emissions these sleepless vehicles will no-doubt cause. It's going to be a hot, dry, angry future.

I wonder when people will wake up and realize that the entire planet is being exploited by a (not too hyperbolic) handful of people.

Technology is great when applied properly. But when it's used carelessly to lop off entire swathes of community that helped build the world with their blood and sweat, it rapidly becomes and extension of greed and short-sightedness. Rather than save countless lives, there's no doubt in my mind that (at at least this example of) AI will be rolled out in a way that will do much more harm than good to society. But a few pockets will be lined.
