I wonder if we will see trucker on self driving truck violence during the switchover. My bet is yes. I think this will be the first space where those replaced physically fight back.

Waymos were trashed during the June protests in LA (against the Trump admin's immigration raids) though I never heard whether the vandals were people who make money by driving.

		IIRC, this was a response to reports that Waymo was handing over camera data to the feds on request.

People won't be fired. Hiring will just slow. It won't be overnight and it won't be quick.

		To truck drivers that own their own trucks I think 'fired' and 'just slow due to self driving' is a distinction without a difference.
