These Autonomous Zero Emission Trucks Could Transform Logistics

These autonomous zero emission trucks have been made by the Swedish firm Einride. It says autonomous trucks could succeed where self-driving cars, so far, haven’t because freight trucks follow specific routes, unlike car drivers, who often want freedom and spontaneity. Specific, predictable routes require less complex autonomous technology. <i>"But for a lot of transport, it's actually the exact opposite. You don't want it to be spontaneous. You don't want it to suddenly be in another part of the country than it's expected to be. [Trucks] need predictability. And they need to make sure that it actually arrives on time." </i> These autonomous zero emission trucks could make road transport more sustainable while helping to solve a reported global shortage of 2.6 million truck drivers.
