They need to label the truck with "poisonous" or "biohazard" then it won't be looted.

Yeah we are a lawless society and seemingly getting worse. You know you're ****ed as a society when people will trample the injured to death in their haste to get at some trinkets.

Another day in savage africa. Waiting for the small minority comments from the comrades ...... same as when schools are burned/looted, a community is involved and those not actively involved encourage it by ignoring it.

Them's big words. Probably best to just use a large skull and crossbones to try and out-pirate the pirates.

So truck drivers are now the next security transport guys... (being targeted by attackers for their loot)

Would that stop a boulder? I think it is the cab structure that should be worked on, it won't help putting strong steel structures around it, unless it would be mounted from.the chassis.

It'll certainly help if not stop it entirely. You have a point on the structure needing reinforcing, as the cab is not load bearing other than itself its made very light and thin.

You are 100% mistaken if you think Tesla invested in self driving trucks to stop this sort of thing.

They invested in it because it is a lucrative market, and they can make trucking companies more efficient and run 24x7 with self driving vehicles.
