While nothing is impossible I still believe there are many many hurdles to address before it could ever become a reality.
How is a computer controlled vehicle going to respond to;
-A steering tire blowing out
-A deer jumping out in front of it
-A tree or rocks falling on the road
-Load restraints coming loose during the trip
-Mud, snow, ice build up on sensors
-Would a computer be able to make the split second decision to swerve or drive into the ditch when a child suddenly walks in front of it?
If so which ditch? Is there any oncoming traffic? What direction is going to cause the least amount of damage?
-Then of course there are the hackers that have nothing better to do than see how they can mess with the control systems.
Say a duck flies in front of the truck, does it lock up the brakes? Does it swerve? Does it ignore it?
How about a piece of paper or plastic blowing around in front of it's sensors?

He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
