I think we will see some sort of self-driving vehicles here in North America in our lifetime....

Netherlands Prepares for Self-Driving Trucks Within Five Years

Sounds dangerous to me, even trains don't drive themselves yet and they have a track to guide them. We are still waiting for Mercedes to develop auto steer, a sprinter that steers it self while on freeway. The driver could and activate or de-activate. Kinda like cruise control only with the steering system. I hope they see this post and make it a option on the next generation.

I don't see self driving trucks anytime soon picking up at Port Newark and delivering to Pittsburgh, for example, but I can see limited use on the Ohio Turnpike and on rural Interstates out west.

Well there are self driving trains in rail yards just not over long distance that I'm aware of.

Those trains are operated by remote control... Operator on the ground wearing the controls on a chest harness.

That's it it's all over but the crying. The truck driver, cab driver, will be 100% eliminated within 20 years.
