Autonomous Trucks
While the expo hall showed off the latest technology at TMC, members tackled thorny questions of best practices during the meeting. The surest sign for me that we’re in a sea-change when it comes to technology and trucking was at the American Trucking Associations’ Technology & Maintenance Council annual meeting in Orlando, Florida. Task Forces and Study Groups are where TMC members hammer out industry-wide best practices and procedures. But at this most recent TMC meeting, many of these sessions were grappling with new topics. They are now beginning the process of creating the guidelines that will govern the next generation of trucking technologies and the fleets that use them.
