There has been a lot of news lately about self-driving cars, but self-driving trucks is an industry that has fierce competition between Uber and Google.
Uber is operating self-driving trucks in Arizona on its freight-hauling app, and Waymo (a division of Google) will begin operating self-driving trucks in the Atlanta area.
” Uber’s big push to dominate the trucking industry took a leap forward today with the announcement that the ride-hailing giant is now operating its fleet of self-driving trucks on its freight-hauling app. The shipments are taking place in Arizona, where the ride-hailing giant is also testing out its robot taxis. Uber said it is using a transfer hub model, in which the trucks drive autonomously on the highway and human drivers take over for the last miles.”
