HERE'S MY BOLG

It is no secret that every new year comes with waves of technological advances in the everyday life we live. Especially considering the years prior involving our lockdowns, the rise in human interests in autonomy began to grow. With Tesla introducing their ground breaking "self-driving" mode available in the newer models, we are starting to see this branch into business. Obviously we have had robots assembling products that shrink the necessary number of employees on the floor, and now it makes its way into the transportation industry.

United States based companies, such as "Tu Simple" have been in works in creating self driving 8-wheel semi trucks. Founded in 2015, they discovered 40% of all trucking operational costs go to drivers and offered its virtual driver as a cheaper alternative. In addition, they clame utility of their vehicle can reduce fuel costs by up tp 10% incurred by employer (1). So far, Tu- Simple has executed small transits no more than two hours, yet has been yielding positive results

In addition, Fed-Ex has taken interest in this new technology. Utilize a different manufacturing company, Fed-Ex has began test runs in Texas, Huston to Dallas, on interstate 45. Currently, they utilize a driver in the cab to moniter the system and stand by in case of an emergency. However, if positive results continue to return, they forecast potential implementation of these without stand-by drivers by 2023.
