Driverless Trucks Set to Disrupt Transportation Industry

Bold Glance – Driverless Trucks Set to Distrupt Transportation Industry

Using self-driving vehicles could improve not only operating ratios, but improve other efficiencies and reduce downtime.

Major roads in the next 20 years will likely be redesigned to have dedicated driverless vehicle lanes to enhance both efficiency and safety. In other words, the trucking industry is ripe for disruption. But it’s going to take bold action on the part of both the automotive and shipping industries to make that happen.
