Truck Autonomy Maybe The Key To Reducing Congestion And Increasing Safety For Everyone

Commercial trucking may be the answer to the out of economic balance between the supply and demand of rush hour congestion and empty roads at 3am.

Using the automotive communication technologies (V2X) to build smart roads detecting congestion-based signals, along with advanced ADAS technology for commercial vehicles which provide higher safety for night time travel, will likely move non time sensitive commercial traffic into times of low utilization.

If the structure works as intended, the investment in the incentive structures are funded by lower congestion for everyone, a decreased need to expand the civil infrastructure, and increased safety for everyone.
