Wednesday, March 31, 2021 | 2PM ET / 11AM PT

Talk in the trucking industry about fully autonomous trucks has been going on for several years. But are we really any closer to truly seeing trucks without drivers and why is it taking so long for autonomous trucks to become a reality?

This webinar, “The Path Toward Fully Autonomous Trucks,” will provide a real-world perspective about the future of autonomous trucks.

Veteran trucking journalist Jack Roberts will share insights from more than 20 years of reporting on trucks and their technology. Also, Mark Doughty, PrePass Safety Alliance CEO, will share his expertise as a member of the board of ITS America, a group that advances the research and deployment of intelligent transportation technologies.

They will discuss the steady evolution of autonomous truck development and how soon you should expect to deploy autonomous technology in your fleet operations.

In this webinar you will also learn:

• How development of autonomous truck technology is more complex than expected
• About autonomous truck technology that is available now, or on the horizon, that will improve driver safety
• How long before we will start seeing widespread use of fully autonomous trucks and in which trucking applications they will be used
• What autonomous trucks will cost and how fleets could see savings with their use
