so if I can get the vehicle to stop on a remote stretch of highway and disable the cameras, I can unload the cargo with no witnesses?

There's already folks staging train robberies of cargo trains through LA. The era of the highwayman has come again!

It was one of at least 10 heists targeting BNSF trains in remote areas of the Mojave desert since last March that authorities are investigating, the Los Angeles Times reported.
damn hadn't heard of these
Gotta find the trains with GPUs.
And disable any kind of data logging including GPS tracking

Combine this with the collapsing inbound volume at ports and the unemployment problem is just going to compound incredibly

When one of these trucks causes an accident and kills some people I look forward to the firms responsible using a "no human being is at fault" legal defense. And it will most likely work.
Weird that long haul stuff wasn't the first focus of self-driving vehicles tbh. Personal vehicles in a city is probably much harder to get working than a truck that spends 90% of the 8 hour journey on the same highway. It is less flashy and much more practical though, so it probably wouldn't get investors on board as much.
