THE ROAD AHEAD: AUTONOMOUS TRUCKS IN 2025
The autonomous trucking landscape has been a topic of interest and debate for many years within the trucking industry. As we begin 2025, many are anticipating making significant strides in advancing autonomous vehicles (AVs). The recent announcement of a new partnership between Waabi and Volvo, as well as that of Torc Robotics’ planned new autonomous hub in Texas and expansion of offices in Ann Arbor, Michigan, are proof that 2025 could be a pivotal year for autonomous trucks.
Joined by Anita Kim from Torc and Sam Loesche from Waabi, we discuss the autonomous trucking outlook for 2025, how the government is approaching the industry, and the challenges and opportunities with AVs.
Topics Covered Include:
- Where does autonomous trucking technology stand today?
- What are the benefits of AVs, and are they safe?
- How autonomous trucks can complement, not compete with, the trucking workforce.
- How insurers are reacting to AVs.
- What legislators and the government are doing in this space and how they can help advance the technology.
