Two dozen states already allow commercial deployment of intrastate autonomous trucks, and they're now on the road in some spots. "Over the next few years, you're definitely going to see autonomous trucks become increasingly commonplace across multiple markets." Also, Tesla cars lack the robust sensor systems, such as lidar, used by autonomous trucks. Those firms include makers of self-driving truck technology such as Aurora Innovation (AUR), Embark Technology (EMBK) and TuSimple (TSP). Yet operators of large fleets will be huge beneficiaries of autonomous truck technology, Volkmann adds.
