Wouldn't the lack of a driver make it rather easy to...err..disrupt the
route that the truck's taking? Say block the road..or something a little
more dramatic ;-) And having said this, wouldn't the said truckers unions
be just a *little* upset by the loss of their jobs? They just might try a
little constructive sabatague <sic>. Think back to the beginings of the
industrial revolution for many examples of this.
