Liveonweb By Transport Topics

According to reports, within the next decade, we can expect that the number of autonomous vehicles on U.S. roads will become a mainstream force. While this will noticeably decrease the cost to move goods, it puts the 3.5 million truckers on our roads at-risk for becoming unemployed. So, just how much benefit will the trucking industry gain from autonomous trucks and platooning? On October 19, Transport Topics' Editorial Director Neil Abt hosted a LiveOnWeb to discuss new developments and future forecasts. Joining him were, TT's Technology Editor Seth Clevenger, and special guest Fred Andersky, director of customer solutions and director of government and industry affairs at Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems.
