Trucker Shortages & Autonomous Vehicles
In 2025, the trucker shortage remains one of the biggest problems facing the industry. Our data found that 69% of logistics businesses say that driver shortages have had an impact on their ability to meet freight demand.
Obviously, the use of self-driving trucks is widely considered one of the easiest ways to alleviate this stress, with 17% of professionals stating that autonomous trucks, ships, and drones are going to have the most disruptive impact over the next two to three years.
Suffice to say, this partnership from Gatik could just be a small stepping stone to the autonomous future expected throughout the logistics industry. That is, of course, if safety remains a priority over rapid expansion.
