For years, the industry focused on proving that self-driving trucks could operate without human intervention on defined highway routes.
Today, successful driver-out demonstrations are becoming more common, and autonomous freight operations are no longer viewed as purely experimental.
The next phase for the industry will not be defined by whether autonomous trucks can complete a route.
This is the stage where the autonomous trucking industry now finds itself.
The success of autonomous trucking will ultimately be measured the same way traditional trucking always has been measured: safe deliveries, reliable uptime and consistent performance, day after day.
