Absolutely! The emissions from trucking transport is absolutely massive so Robotrucking could be world changing... even if they needed people for the first and last 1% of the journey (maneuvering in and out of loading bays, navigating the first and last miles, etc) the savings are potentially enormous.... but it also shows that charging infrastructure needs to be incredible and sourcing enough battery materials to power the trucks with their cargo will be really important (maybe solid state batteries can help here).

If EV SUVs are quite a bit heavier than ICE SUVs, I can't imagine what the weight of an EV Semi must be.

I agree though, EV trucks and robotrucks are very exciting and hugely impactful and I hope very smart people are working on all the challenges to get them running smoothly and safely.
