Summary
J.B. Hunt has partnered with autonomous vehicle developer Waymo to move freight with self-driving trucks in Texas. Through the limited program, Waymo’s autonomous trucking unit, Waymo Via, will move loads between facilities in Houston and Fort Worth. That’s a distance of more than 250 miles. Waymo’s Class 8 trucks will drive autonomously on the freight runs, but they also will have two specialists on board. One will be a commercially licensed driver. The other will be a software technician. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
