Autonomous Trucks
Don’t be surprised if you soon see driverless delivery trucks on North Texas roadways – they’re making food deliveries to three Dallas-Fort Worth area Kroger stores. The company announced a partnership with autonomous truck delivery company Gatik to deliver the food. Gatik, headquartered in Mountain View, California, has an operations hub out the AllianceTexas Mobility Innovation Zone in Fort Worth. Aurora Innovation Inc. is collaborating with Werner to launch a 600-mile autonomous truck route from Fort Worth to El Paso. Alphabet’s Waymo opened a hub that operates 20 autonomous trucks in Lancaster, and plans to add a self-driving route between Fort Worth and Houston.
