There was a company that was already running automated semis between exits iirc. They did a deal with Budweiser at one point.
Google says it was Otto.

There was also a competitor that intended to use remote drivers for the complicated parts of the trips. I'm sure that'll go well.
Remote drivers seem even worse than an AI would be. Imagine is the internet connection is spotty.
But think of the savings! Lol.
