And many trucks are hauling time sensitive loads, like UPS, FedEx, and USPS where the shipments are to be on time. Your huge reduction in speed would greatly affect this.

Good points, except an AI truck driver never needs to sleep. On a 1,000 mile trip, a slower AI truck might arrive about the same time.

And like I said, a slower truck impedes other traffic. Vehicles will backup behind it on hills and curves on two lane roads. The state police I mentioned want an even flow of traffic for safety reasons.

And what about two AI trucks on a four lane or larger going side by side trying to pass one another? Talk about backed up traffic and road rage. Conventional trucks do it today, only they are clipping along at 65 mph on an 80 mph interstate, side by side, trying to pass one another.

Interstate speeds in our state are 85 mph. A vehicle going 40 would be a huge safety hazard.
