Why are there only driverless cars, not other vehicles?

Actually, the concept of driverless trucks is becoming more popular these days and practical tests of such trucks have already been conducted. When these trucks become commercially available, they will change the face of the logistics business forever. Meanwhile, driverless cars could be changing public transport.
