I think a self driving train would be very workable. They have a defined track, sensors can easily test the condions of that track, trains have the right of way. When in doubt stopping on the track works.
On a road with wildlife, debris, pedestrians, potholes, unpredictable human drivers, weather changes, ice, snow, etc....
There is a lot for our early stages of sensors to recognize, digest, and react to.
Talk to the cattle guys out west about the auto brakes and rear sensors. Drive through a pasture of grass and try to back up in the grass.... ha.

Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
