Best practices, technology, and new takes on critical business topics from ChainLink Research

Tuesday, August 16, 2022 – Published once each month.

Projections for the rollout of driverless cars have dramatically shifted in recent years. Around 2015, the industry was predicting that autonomous cars would be available “before 2020.” Now they are saying “after 2030.” What does that mean for when driverless trucks may become available? We explore some reasons that we may see driverless long-haul trucking, in a hub-to-hub model, well before driverless cars are plying our city streets. [ Read: The Case for Autonomous Long-Haul Trucking ]
