Why isn't Tesla developing self driving trucks for hauling cargo?

Even they're not evil enough to deprive people of the comfy sovlful truck life.

This would be the version 2.0.
Probably mostly for use and black ass ghetto neighborhoods.

its a combination of battery size/weigh and charging time
they announced one in maybe 2018 but got btfoed by everyone that ran the numbers on it. the haters have since been proven right because you havent heard of it kek

Human lives are a cheap loss that is already financially anticipated. The shipping industry has the means to hold Tesla accountable and sue for company-altering amounts in event of mishandling.

Because companies would sue them out of business with their halfbaked FSD that was supposed to be past 1.0 a few years ago.

This. You could just slow down in front of those, have a couple people hop out and stand in its way while you unload it at your leisure. At least with a human driver involved the stakes are raised for potential privateers (violence, kidnapping and murder are very serious crimes compared to theft) and the vehicle/driver safety being tied together gives the cargo another layer of protection (a human driver can decide to just run someone over or smash into another vehicle to escape danger).
