Will self-driving trucks be a threat or a help to the road freight industry?
If you’ve been fearful of the introduction of self-driving trucks to the industry, you may want to read the article on TheAtlantic.com about research done by Uber’s Advanced Technologies Group.
The research shows that self-driving trucks will result in more trucking jobs, complimenting trucking, not endangering it.
As Uber explains, drivers do a lot more work than just driving, some tasks that wouldn’t be able to be accomplished by robots.
Also Uber doesn’t believe that self-driving trucks will be doing dock to dock deliveries for a long time but will instead transfer goods between hubs where human drivers will then take over for the end of the journey through more complex terrain.
