Predictions on when we get them? More expensive / complicated than the short range taxis. Waymo getting pretty good but not highway yet. So maybe 5-10 years?
But surely highway driving is an easier problem to solve than city driving. No cross traffic, very gentle curves, very few traffic controls, generally better maintained roads and lane markings, etc.

Rabbi: Indeed, there is! May the Lord bless and keep the Self Driving Semi -- far away from us!
