In this episode of Torquing Trucks, Will Shiers speaks to Sasko Cuklev, head of on-road solutions at Volvo Autonomous Solutions, about the reality of autonomous freight operations in the US.
Volvo is already running driverless trucks on public highways in Texas, moving real freight for paying customers between Dallas, Houston, El Paso and Oklahoma City. While safety drivers remain in the cab for now, Cuklev says fully driverless operation is getting closer “in quarters rather than years”.
