Well, this is true now. But drivers like all workers, are a expense, to the owners of the US government. And the last few years shows that rules that should protect all can be changed if the money thinks it has a better chance to breed without the rule...

The pattern, though now exactly analogous, must be the modern airplanes.

It can land and take off on it's own and glide via auto-pilot but still got an engineer, navigator and multi-redundant pilots on board.

Not sure, but I think the crew requirements might be less for planes hauling freight? Driver-less cars have been approved for passenger use in some areas. All my life the trucking companies have talked about how hard it is to get and keep good drivers. Of course, if the shippers and receivers treat drivers like something that needs scraped off their shoe...
I do know the crew required on trains has been reduced to the point accidents have happened...

For an RV cruising at 70mph, it may have drastically less range.

You'll get a ton of traffic tickets in the West Coast for this where speed limit is 55 mph. And high fees for these violations.

Excuse me, but a large percentage of the world is not the west coast...

Huh, who said that the whole world is driving like the west coast, anybody, anybody? Bueller, is that you?:D

Sorry if I offended, but when I read You'll get a ton of traffic tickets in the West Coast for this where speed limit is 55 mph. I got the impression you did not think the a vehicle should be designed for higher speeds, because the higher speeds are not allowed in one area. I think most would think that idea is crazy.
