ROADSIGNS EPISODE 24

ROADSIGNS ROUNDABOUT: AUTOMATED TRUCKING, PART I

Last year we set out to answer a question, what does the move towards autonomy mean for the truck driver? Who’s behind the wheel of tomorrow? This year, host Seth Clevenger allows those important questions to resurface in new contexts. As part of a 2020 preview, and a two-part investigation of autonomous today, this episode revisits conversations with some of 2019's most knowledgeable experts in autonomous trucking. Hear them explain, again, what exactly testing automated trucks and developing platooning technology has taught them about the road ahead -- and get new perspective with host commentary.
