“Future of Trucking: How Autonomous Technology is Changing the Game”

ZF is a global tech company that has demonstrated a number of new technologies including an Innovation Truck that can be driven at low speeds from outside the vehicle using a tablet and a specially-designed app. This system can be used today in truck yards and other private settings, making it easy to back a double-trailer combination through a set of cones. Although the new technologies will initially be met with cynicism and fear over job security, they have the potential to make the profession of trucking much more attractive to future generations. Kids today are born with IPads in their hands and the idea of being able to control a truck using a tablet and put the truck on autopilot will be exciting for them. It will also allow truckers to multitask and manage their business while traveling down the highway.

“Drivers to Road Coordinators”

Daimler first autonomously-driven trucks, which can relieve the driver from their duties up to 50% of the time at speeds of up to 50 miles per hour. You can rotate your seat 45 degrees, work on your computer, Skype with family, book your next load, etc. The company’s Highway Pilot system, which could be commercially available by 2025, will convert drivers from truckers to traffic managers, allowing them to multitask and manage their business while on the highway. However, they have also emphasized that a driver will always be necessary to monitor the system and take control during certain maneuvers such as overtaking, similar to an airline pilot.
