This month, Rob Hooper, CEO at Atlantic Logistics will join executives from other major companies in a panel discussion on September 25 at the Connected Fleets USA event in Atlanta, GA.   The title of the panel discussion is “Autonomous Trucks:  Why the Economics Win Out.”  Autonomous vehicles, especially in the trucking industry, are one of the hottest topic today.  The panelists will consider issues such as: 1)  the technology required to retrofit existing rigs to self-driving trucks; 2) managing the transition of driver to highway pilot in an automated convoy; 3)  exploring the business models around an automated fleet, from operations through staffing and consider the potential savings in lives, property damage and exposure to liability.
