Self-Driving Trucks Will Soon Be Kings of the Road

Automated trucking, a technical milestone that could disrupt hundreds of thousands of jobs, hits the road.

60 Minutes 16 AUG 2021.

60 Minutes also spoke with Chuck Price, the chief product officer at TuSimple, a privately held, global autonomous trucking outfit valued at more than a billion dollars with operations in the U.S. and China.

Price expects driverless tests with no human backup in 2021.

Veteran Truckers Go for a Ride

The truckers, Jeff Widdows, his son Tanner, Linda Allen, Eric Richardson, and Maureen Fitzgerald were all astonished to learn how far the technology has come.

Trucker Linda Allen: I wasn't aware 'til I ran across one on the Florida Turnpike and that just-- it just scares me. I can't imagine. But I didn't know anything about it.

Trucker Eric Richardson: I didn't know that it'd come so far. And I'm thinking, "Wow. It's here."

Tu Simple Chuck Price: Our system can see farther than any other autonomous system in the world. We can see forward over a half mile.

Trucker Maureen Fitzgerald: This truck is scanning mirrors, looking 1,000 meters out. It's processing all the things that my brain could never do and it can react 15 times faster than I could.

Steve Viscelli, sociologist at the University of Pennsylvania, an expert in freight transportation and automation: I've identified two segments that I think are most at-risk. And that's-- refrigerated and dry van truckload. And those constitute about 200,000 trucking jobs. And then what's called line haul and they're somewhere in the neighborhood of 80,000-90,000 jobs there.

The cost cost of a truck is about $250,000.
The saving is an annual salary of $45,000
In addition, a driverless truck can go coast-to-coast in 2 days, not 4.

We may focus on the self-driving car, but autonomous trucking is not an if, it's a when. And the when is coming sooner than you might expect. As we first reported in March, companies have been quietly testing their prototypes on public roads. Right now there's a high-stakes, high-speed race pitting the usual suspects -

Google and Tesla and other global tech firms - against small start-ups smelling opportunity. The driverless semi will convulse the trucking sector and the 2 million American drivers who turn a key and maneuver their big rig every day. And the winners of this derby, they may be poised to make untold billions; they'll change the U.S. transportation grid; and they will emerge as the new kings of the road.

Hub-to-Hub On the Way

Hub-to-hub highway driving is much simpler than in-city driving.

It's a no-brainer for cost savings and it will undoubtedly reduce the number of accidents.

Timeline

Drivers will vanish on the interstates within two years of DOT driverless approval. The last mile and in-city driving is another matter as I have stated all along.

The hub-to-hub self-driving truck model is no longer a theory. For now, there's a backup driver. Two years from now?

Amazon Hauling Cargo on I-10 in Self-Driving Trucks Developed by Embark

Embark, Electrolux, and Ryder have partnered in a driverless truck endeavor on a 650-mile I-10 route.

“Otto” Self-Driving Truck Test on Ohio Roads this Week

TuSimple raised $95 Million in New Funding to support the expansion of its autonomous truck fleet.

UPS teamed up with TuSimple in May for autonomous delivery of cargo.

Since October, autonomous trucks have been hauling Frigidaire refrigerators along the I-10 freeway. The trucks were built and operated by the startup Embark.

A self- driving truck drove 2,800 miles cross country, to deliver 40,000 pounds of butter.

California gives a green light to companies testing driverless delivery vehicles, including pizza.
