My dad is a trucker and he’s the one loading and unloading the cargo, plus he’s the one guarding it and being liable for it.
There’s a long way before an automated truck drives up to a loading bay and anyone will touch it. (Or wont touch it in case loading bays get automated too).
Remote supervision will help that change, too, like Waymo does with its taxis so any unexpected situation can be solved quickly.
I think truckers will still have jobs - but that may be homeoffice in front of a screen with a number of trucks to monitor.
