Most semi trucks actually do have a cruise control, which helps drivers to lessen the fatigue of a long trip by simulating how humans drive.

[{"selector":"#anim-0057dd2d-81aa-4779-b65c-bed307377964 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-12.514648210040342%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-970cb5a6-4fc8-4fac-91a5-530ddf65fa05","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-117.94021%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5af52ffe-abdf-4709-b1b7-ea2ac500fb12","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7258ff04-477f-47e9-a567-3fc3ccc5ac1b","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

For now, truck drivers reap the benefits of cruise control, making life slightly easier every mile they travel.

[{"selector":"#anim-b771a8a0-c9f9-44e1-8692-5fb9b9c47b5e [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-12.514648210040342%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-804289c9-2148-49c9-950f-3fada73faf54","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-117.94021%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-906b370c-fe70-4dba-9bc7-0046a6c36745","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c7d04dc2-327a-4bfb-b1ac-6b1cf0316036","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Cruise control allows them to avoid having to keep a foot on the accelerator, controlling speed each and every minute of their journey.

[{"selector":"#anim-b01ba865-2e6e-4d2c-a132-d68e0c1576ae [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-12.514648210040342%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-621ac017-9b48-4969-8f7a-2be86f29db82","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-117.94021%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-23be24ed-3ced-4de8-9dbd-b8f03f0fafbf","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ebcbfc2f-4084-4f9a-bf6e-fb651f027dd0","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

It is just a little step up from lanes for assisted/adaptive cruise control, since self-driving semi trucks need no human input whatsoever.

[{"selector":"#anim-27f89d70-7909-4ab4-aa2e-e34211c7297a [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-12.514648210040342%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a37d3020-c8ea-46c7-8d36-42d5657345a0","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-117.94021%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7f43a59e-c176-4378-b129-4577be353395","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0f5fb40b-99a7-4a7c-b15a-899be9fb81c0","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Freightliners adaptive cruise control works similar to a feature found on passenger cars, a driver sets the speed,

[{"selector":"#anim-ae528420-774e-42fd-94aa-3ab9afba0c57 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-12.514648210040342%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-277a73ca-31e5-4c4c-a40b-9f71ef5c7266","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-118.60465%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ee9048d5-c2f0-4a92-b7a2-d34d1d29f3a1","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b4835924-05ab-4820-96b3-1815d7c33b12","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

and his new Freightliner Cascadia will travel at that setting until it is passed by a slower car.

[{"selector":"#anim-09464abd-e09a-4071-864a-bd7d95781ffe [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-12.514648210040342%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b013f4a9-8414-4f48-bdb8-c02589aeaea4","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-117.94021%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5bf1966d-953a-4746-afaf-0657d8220a92","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a7ca78f4-ee37-4fdc-b29d-95d3bac71894","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Its Freightliner Cascadia class-8 semi-trucks have been equipped with adaptive cruise before,

[{"selector":"#anim-5ce3ccb0-14c2-4a31-b0f1-dc1c3c7be4a7 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-26.18684654539818%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-70fc7b8d-ee17-4038-b4ce-080c4bef1802","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-117.94021%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-da7cc926-a38f-49e8-b8c1-c735554da6a5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7fbeb143-2724-4edf-8bf2-99e787bc6871","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

but now technology can stop the truck completely and stop in a two-second interval, then restart after a leading vehicle.

[{"selector":"#anim-60861c19-2973-429e-a403-859c1111875e [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-37.50316287963526%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6b868cce-21b7-475a-9ef1-35a549a30f14","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-117.94021%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-49427964-e689-4ac0-8a3f-c4faea2b84a2","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-39a39b92-05b8-43ce-81f7-162aae1dd954","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Applying it could massively destabilize the truck, possibly leading to a wreck, so it is necessary to hit the cruise-control switch,

[{"selector":"#anim-47a77ebe-1538-4096-a189-f423da8db85b [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-12.514648210040342%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0bd1bc6a-2330-4b55-9386-32217e7b83d0","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-117.94021%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-135204be-9914-417f-8e57-1313e4f78c1f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-100f24b8-2851-4c2d-a7e5-2fa171e74e84","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

which will then slowly help your truck get to a manageable speed.
