Most truckers have guns in their cab to defend themselves, but also potentially to defend their cargo. Driverless-trucks would mean a less secure supply chain. 1: Block road (A couple pickup trucks or a felled tree should be enough) 2: When the automatic truck comes to a stop, blow a few wheels and most of its optics. Then it's control system, or that first if it's easily accessible. (Don't even need guns, a hammer/axe and some spikes will do the trick as long as you're not an idiot) 3: Break it open and load the shit into the pickups before a maintenance crew or an armed response team gets to the location 40 miles from the nearest city.
Until they start mounting remote-controlled machine gun turrets on them, it would be an all-you-can-loot buffet.
4: Burn the evidence.
That's what I was thinking. How many bridges or overpasses does an average trucker have to go over in a day? How many have to be out to stop him from reaching his destination.
Guns are illegal in trucks. Even carrying large knives is outlawed. Back when I was a truckdriver trainer, I taught my students to carry a can of instant knock-down wasp spray. Should anybody try to break your window, you give them a whiff, wait a few seconds, then pull out and drive away from where you are parked. If the spray doesn't kill them, the big wheels will smear them as you slink away.
Good old wasp spray. Kills pests on contact. Aim for the eyes and nose.
I love Your comment because of your username. Thanks.
Everybody Panic! was a common comment over on fark.com which has gone over the cliff lefty in the recent decade. Back when it was new, it had photoshop contests which encouraged me to get and learn how to photoshop pictures. Long ago. as Fark got more and more lefty, the quality of their contests declined. I no longer even try.
