A truck driver that never grows tired or distracted, never brakes harshly or exceeds the speed limit and can legally disregard Hours of Service restrictions: that’s the promise of autonomous freight solutions. Huge cost savings for fleets and dramatically more efficient goods movement await us—theoretically.
Self-driving pilots have been gaining ground and moving ever closer towards commercial deployment. But is the industry ready? As usual, the regulatory scene lags behind the technology one and most markets lack a cohesive policy on self-driving rules. Liability in the event of a crash is another huge question mark.
