if it can drive a car why wouldn't it be able to drive a truck?

I'm surprised companies don't just build their own special highway for automated trucking and use people for last mile stuff.

They are testing them already. I only have a German article that came out this week https://www.tagesschau.de/wirtschaft/technologie/fahrerlose-lkw-man-test-autobahn-100.html

The truck division of Mercedes (Daimler) is already testing the trucks in the US. They plan commercial usage in 2027. MAN is testing in Europe in wants to start commercial usage in 2030.
