Isn't anyone worried this is going to lead to a lot of ludicrous car chases and cheesy buddy cop banter?

I'm sure I must be wrong about this, but when considering long haul much of this driverless truck stuff seems to be about creating a transport system that looks a lot like a railway freight system.

It's a more efficient, versatile form of the system we in the US already have in place. The big question is, how are all these long haul driverless trucks networks going to maintain their service reliability when our corrupt establishment has been neglecting our infrastructure for decades? Everybody wants to use public infrastructure to run their businesses, but they don't want to pay the taxes that maintain it.
