A claim that Tucker Carlson would use presidential power to outlaw self-driving vehicles to protect trucking jobs, framed as alarming for the self-driving industry but reassuring for truck drivers.

• Tucker Carlson reportedly said he would ban autonomous vehicles by executive order if he were president.
• The reason: self-driving trucks would put millions of truck drivers out of work.
• Truck driving is the top job in all 50 states, so the disruption would be huge.
• The bigger shock was the admission he'd "lie for power" to make it happen.

Outlook: This signals growing political resistance to self-driving trucks, which could mean tougher rules ahead for the industry.
