Driverless Trucks Are Already Here

Voice Of GO(r)D brings you a presentation about the realities of Autonomous (Driverless) Trucks in America, recently given to members of the Greater Houston Trucking Association.

Featuring past collaborators of the show James Year, Edward Escobar, and Will Cook, who brought their expertise in studying and documenting the roll out of this technology, and answered questions that many drivers in the industry would be well advised to consider, given that this tech is already out on the road, especially in Texas.

Special thanks to the GHTA who asked us to bring them this info, whom you can find here -
