What could go wrong?
They can only be licensed to operate in France.
Pooh. Germany, Norway, Sweden and Belgium are queueing up to take graduates, too.
[VoiceofEurope] Due to an acute shortage of professional truck drivers the German trucking association has launched a new project to train asylum seekers for the job, Austria’s tabloid Wochenblick reports.

The project, which is named "The drive into your new future" intends to make it easier for asylum seekers to become truck drivers.

Of course, the Teamsters Union will fight self driving trucks tooth and nail.
