The autonomous trip is being considered a success and Embark plans to have installed autonomous technology in 40 more tractor trailers by the end of 2018. However, despite the sudden influx in self-driving technology, Embark assures that the technology is not meant to take jobs away from truckers, only to increase productivity.

By allowing automation to work together with local drivers to handle less desirable long haul routes, we will be able to increase productivity to address the current 50,000 driver shortage while also creating new local driving jobs that attract younger drivers for the industry, Rodriguez said.

Do they really expect us to believe that once the tech is perfected they'll still keep a human in every truck? Or if they do keep paying what they pay now? What a crock of shit.
