This may indicate where the real money is going to be on self-driving vehicles. Forget the family car. Self-driving trucks will push humans completely out of the job.

Agreed. Long-haul trucking is a natural for self-driving vehicles as they can run 24x7 with little down time. We’re still 10+ years away from that, however, based on both the maturity of the technology and natural inertia. You also need to build up the infrastructure to support this fundamental transformation (automated refueling stations, etc.). But it will happen soon enough.
