Autonomous road haulage in Texas
Autonomous vehicle company Aurora and transport service provider Schneider National have launched a multiphase commercial pilot to haul freight autonomously.
For a first phase, the two companies recently started weekly autonomous hauls between Dallas and Houston with Aurora vehicle operators on board. Load frequency is expected to increase as Schneider expands its relationship with Aurora. This pilot reflects an important step for Schneider towards understanding how to incorporate autonomous trucks into its fleet to improve efficiencies.
Schneider hauls freight on over 15 million km a day for America’s biggest companies, creating an attractive value proposition for autonomous trucks that can haul freight 24/7/365. (ben)
