Automated road freight will save costs, reduce emissions and make roads safer, but the impact on driver jobs requires a managed transition, the study says.
Governments must consider ways to manage the transition to driverless trucks to avoid potential social disruption from job losses, says a new report published by the International Transport Forum (ITF), France.
The research reveals that self-driving trucks can help save costs, lower emissions, make roads safer and address the shortage of professional drivers.
