I've been waiting for self-driving trucks to show up for real, because once there is no driver to pay, the speed/cost optimum changes. And because speed is part of risk, it may be the case that a lower speed is required to make the first self-driving trucks be viable.

I hope you're right. They could be safer if they are forced to obey the speed limits, as well as other traffic laws. But the truck lobbies will want them going as fast as possible 24/7. And they generally get their way.
