    Autonomous trucks are heading to the I-35 corridor between Laredo and Dallas, promising to revolutionize cross-border freight. Andrew Culhane from Torc Robotics discusses how driverless technology can tackle persistent delays at the border and enhance efficiency for the entire supply chain. The strategic importance of this route and the regulatory landscape are paving the way for commercial launch by 2027.

    I’ve slowed down & watched those autonomous trucks a couple of times on 45. Haven’t seen 1 do anything stupid, but saw plenty of stupid wheel holders around them. They drive good, stay in the right lane, slow down or speed up for merging traffic. I even saw 1 slow down to get space when a wheel holder was trying to pass it at .0001 more miles per hour. I was on 35 today for a while, there definitely better then most of the drivers out there now. There’s definitely going to be issues, but there coming. Anyone that gets in an accident with one of those trucks is most likely going to be at fault. They won’t be throwing out piss jugs either.

    The technology isn't ready yet but they're going to rush it out anyways.
