Autonomous Vehicle News
Although autonomous trucks are still in their infancy, the continued development and eventual deployment of these vehicles represents a new frontier for the freight transportation business. The debut of the first driverless trucks will not herald the end of the truck driving profession. At the same time, the emergence of autonomous trucking could create new opportunities and new types of jobs. Autonomous trucks also will create support roles in dispatching, maintenance and customer support. Properly harnessed, autonomous trucks could yield benefits across the board — for fleets, shippers, consumers, and yes, even truck drivers.
