Yeah, but an autonomous truck could pull over to the side of the road and wait for better weather



Non-autonomous trucks probably do some of the time. I'm from a snowy place and actual big snow storms with significantly reduced visibility are infrequent, probably on the order of one day out of 100. It might be OK to compromise and say that the autonomous part of the fleet doesn't go out when that happens.


The goods inside often can't wait, even stuff that doesn't spoil has often a contracted delivery date
