Driverless Revolution: How AI Trucks Are Replacing America’s Last Cowboys

A silent revolution is rolling down America’s highways — one that could upend millions of jobs.

Driverless semi-trucks are now operating autonomously on I-45 in Texas, marking the dawn of a new industrial era. But behind the hype of “innovation” lies a story of automation, deregulation, and disappearing livelihoods.

This documentary takes you inside the rise of Aurora Innovation, the Silicon Valley company leading the race to remove human drivers — and the growing backlash from truckers, unions, and safety advocates warning of a coming storm.

What’s inside:
• The truth about the “driver shortage” myth and falling wages
• How Aurora’s AI system learns, drives, and replaces human oversight
• Why Texas became ground zero for unregulated automation
• The legislative fight to keep humans in control
• The echoes of John Henry — when man met the machine

From the dawn of the Industrial Revolution to the highways of the future, this is the story of how technology is once again testing the soul of work itself.
