> If workers burn down every autonomous truck on the road

I don't think they need to burn them down, punctured tires would probably be enough.

Laziness on my part, my apologies, pick your system vulnerability to your preferences. Physical disablement, some flavor of cyber RCE, sensor spoofing or blinding, etc. Could be as easy as slowing in front of the vehicle to force it to a stop.
