According to the news self driving trucks are about to hit the road with no driver on board.

But according to this book that is not going to happen. The author says that the real purpose is to get rid of the skilled drivers and replace them with underpaid button pushers.

Will they really do that? What's going to be the situation few years from now?

If you've been injured by a self driving truck call our office right away as you may be entitled to compensation.

Can't call anyone if you're a stain on the pavement.
