Self-driving trucks may be closer than they appear

Trucks will someday drive themselves out of warehouses and cruise down freeways without the aid of humans or even a driver’s cab — about that there seems little disagreement. The question is how soon.

Billions of dollars and a growing parade of companies, from tiny startups to the country’s biggest trucking operations, are betting it will be here sooner than most people think.
