ITF – Managing the Transition to Driverless Road Freight Transport 2017

The International Transport Forum (ITF) together with IRU, ITWF and ACEAlaunched a report titled: “Managing the Transition to Driverless Road Freight Transport”. This report considers how a transition to driverless road freight transport could happen. Today’s technology already makes it possible to operate automated trucks. Reduced reliance on humans to move road freight in the future could offer large cost savings for businesses and consumers. It could also disrupt the careers and lives of millions of professional truck drivers. Based on different scenarios for the large-scale introduction of automated road freight transport, this study makes recommendations to assist governments manage potential disruption and ensure a just transition for affected drivers.     ΠΗΓΗ: Ε.Μ.Π
