If you see a vehicle like the one in the photos, do not cross yourselves. It is the new robotic truck of the swedish Scania, which has no driver (it is “auto-mobile” literally…) and, of course, has no cab.
It’s a twofer. Plus lower costs (minus drivers’ salaries) and anti-sexism. The “Pirelli girls” are now a thing of the past…
In the middle of the last century (20th century) it was common for little boys to answer “trucker” to the question “what will you become when you grow up?”. Trucks (and large vehicles in general) were awe-inspiring; their drivers seemed to have superhuman powers.
Not anymore. Now maybe the answer to the same question is: I want to be a robot when I grow up…
