MODERATORS
I'm more thinking it's a lesser crime to rob a driverless truck. No chance of being shot by a yee-haw Trump trucker while doing so. No need to be armed.
Just slow to a stop in front, open the back, take what you want. It's practically a victimless crime.
I don't think this is likely to happen regardless. Occasionally trucks are raided, though it's rare in the us. More often in some places where there's a lot more instability. But I don't think the reason it's rare in general is 'because there's a human at the wheel', especially not the concern that they may be armed.
