MIT Tech Review's 2017 List Of 10 Breakthrough Technologies

Self-Driving Trucks -Continual developments are making long-haul trucks that drive themselves for extended stretches on highways more attainable. Significant challenges remain, including having sensors and code match the situational awareness of a professional trucker. In the short term, this technology may free truck drivers to complete routes more efficiently, but it could also erode their pay and eventually replace many of them altogether. Key companies to watch in this area include Daimler, Otto, Peterbilt, and Volvo. Availability is prediction to be in 5 to 10 years.
