Trucking 4.0: An autonomous vehicle ecosystem.

Autonomous vehicles are, and will continue to change the transportation industry. This is a great video on an autonomous vehicle ecosystem.

It is difficult to predict with certainty how trucking will look in 2030, as it will depend on a variety of factors, including technological advances, regulatory developments, and economic and market conditions. However, it is likely that trucking will continue to evolve and change in the coming years. Some potential developments that may affect trucking in 2030 include:

Autonomous trucks: It is possible that autonomous truck technology will become more widespread in the next decade, which could significantly change the way that trucking is done. Autonomous trucks could reduce the need for human drivers, which could lead to cost savings and increased efficiency.
Electric trucks: The use of electric trucks is likely to increase in the coming years, as governments and companies seek to reduce their carbon emissions and improve air quality. Electric trucks are generally more efficient and have lower operating costs than diesel-powered trucks.
Advanced logistics and supply chain management: The use of advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and the internet of things (IoT), is likely to become more prevalent in trucking and logistics in the next decade. These technologies can be used to optimize routes, improve efficiency, and reduce costs.

Overall, trucking in 2030 is likely to be significantly different from what it is today, with the adoption of new technologies and changing market conditions driving significant changes in the industry.

Quotes on Autonomous Vehicles

“Self-driving cars are the natural extension of active safety and obviously something we thing we should do.” ~Elon Musk
“The vehicles will be full self-driving. So you have your own personal space where you can sit back and relax.” ~John Krafcik, CEO Waymo.
“The key with autonomous is the whole ecosystem. One of the keys to having a truly fully autonomous is vehicles talking to each other.” ~Mary Barra, GM CEO.
“As the most advanced vehicles on the road today, our self-driving cars require the highest-performance computers to make safe driving decisions in real time. Intel’s technology supports the advanced processing inside our vehicles, with the ability to manufacture to meet Waymo’s needs at scale.” ~John Krafcik
“The Tesla electric semi could change the trucking industry the same way the iPhone changed the cell phone industry.” ~Dave Waters
