Geotab’s blog explains that autonomous trucks could significantly reshape commercial freight by helping address global driver shortages and enabling longer operating hours without human rest limits, which improves scheduling and delivery speed. Self-driving freight rigs use sensors and real-time decision systems to detect hazards and reduce human-error incidents, lowering operating costs alongside optimized fuel use and reduced wear and tear. While not intended to eliminate drivers entirely, autonomy is seen as a way to handle repetitive long-haul segments and let people focus on higher-value tasks. Autonomous trucks also integrate with fleet telematics to improve routing and efficiency, offering potential for fuel and cost savings on long-distance routes and helping fleets cope with workf
