#2If I block a road an autonomous truck is expecting to drive along, will it automatically reroute to another road? If it does, then these trucks are going to be very easy to rob simply by corralling them in to a quiet location..

The trucks are connected to the internet, with exact location data and cameras all over--so the police would be notified very quickly at least.

That would probably happen if you had armored autonomous Brinks CIT trucks driving around. But just as likely they’d have thought of this scenario and prepared for it.

#8"This year"... kinda... This year there will be the first real tests run with no one in the cab. "By 2024,TuSimple plans to achieve Level 4 autonomy, meaning that its trucks will be able to operate without a human driver under limited conditions that may include time of day, weather, or premapped routes."
Somehow I've managed to miss that trucks are better for this stuff not just because of the type of driving they do, but also because they're trucks! Being bigger gives them some advantages.
"Trucks are also a better platform for autonomy, with their large size providing more power for computers and an improved field of view for sensors, which can be mounted higher off the ground."

#9I cannot believe that this isn't the foundation of autonomous driving: long hauls, highways, no stop signs, semi-controlled circumstances. The economics are more clear and industrialized.
Even if a driver had to be present when they got off the highway, I think 'long haul' should be naturally the first thing to be tackled.
And I'm surprised Walmart isn't leading the way, they should be.
