What happens when an autonomous truck pulls into a fleet terminal? U.S. Xpress and Embark are teaming up to develop procedures in the fleet's network.
A Kodiak truck and U.S. Xpress trailers completed a pilot project hauling freight on four round-trips (eight segments), approximately 6,350 miles, between Dallas and Atlanta.
Although the carrier said there will always be a need for human drivers, the ongoing driver shortage and other market forces have led U.S. Xpress to make investments in autonomous technology provider TuSimple.
Autonomous trucking technology company TuSimple announced the launch of its Autonomous Freight Network, which it says will lay the groundwork for self-driving trucks to become commercially available by 2024.
