Drivers maintain themselves, so this is pretty much purely maintained drivers vs. little-to-not maintained autopilots.

That said, I agree there's plenty of incentives for the trucking companies to go the autopilot route.

Fatigue and sleep deprivation are chronic problems in the trucking industry. Clearly, many drivers are unable or unwilling to maintain themselves.

I agree. My point being, trucking companies don't have to maintain drivers, they push this onto drivers themselves. So if they simply s/driver/autopilot/, they'll have to start maintaining.
