I thought the logic of pursuing self-driving trucks was that it was generally easier than self driving taxi services:
- Mostly highway miles (or you could arrange it to be so)
- Fewer weight requirements
- Better economics (a greater % of the economy is dependent upon trucking logistics than taxi services)
This isn't to say that there's a big master plan of making a trucking company, more that making a self driving trucking company is a very practical step on the path to full autonomy.
