Autonomous driving news has been flooding the zone lately. One story pops up and before we get to covering it, another does, and then another. Let’s go through a handful of these stories quickly and see where that leaves us — perhaps at a very interesting destination, or perhaps in an illogical traffic jam 20 robotaxis long.While California has been a leader in the autonomous car space, it has been blocking activity in the autonomous trucking arena.
“As CEOs, co-founders, leaders, and allied organizations of the autonomous trucking industry ecosystem, we are working each day to do something uniquely Californian—harness innovation to solve some of the world’s biggest challenges, including road safety and the supply chain crisis. Many of us are proud to be building autonomous trucking technology in the Golden State or have communities or operations that seek to leverage autonomous trucking to better serve California.
“This is because the California Department of Motor Vehicles explicitly prohibited the operation of autonomous trucks in prior proceedings, suggesting that rules to authorize this important technology were better left to a future regulatory proceeding.
“A new study from the Silicon Valley Leadership Group Foundation found that autonomous trucking technology can add $6.5 billion in economic activity to California while bringing greater efficiency to our supply chain, spurring wage gains and job growth. On the heels of this economic report, the tragic, ‘crisis-level’ truck-related crash data just released by NHTSA, and the growing truck driver shortage, it is time to begin the regulatory process.
