Looks like a "win-win" for everybody...

Once the bugs are worked out? Computers have proven themselves rather untrustworthy, in my experience. Great for forums and games and such, but that's as far as it goes. How many drivers can fix a computer on the fly?

It wouldn't be much of a win for drivers. It would be a great excuse for trucking companies - already renowned for squeezing drivers - to squeeze us more. I don't see where I win in that equation for sure.
