LOGISTICS
On the other side of the globe , in the USA , logistics hubs are meshing with automated vehicle technology , with Uber Freight in the vanguard . Uber Freight is currently building an automated trucks hub-to-hub logistics model that will allow autonomous trucks to operate alongside those driven by people . Under this model , a driver picks up a preloaded trailer from the shipper ’ s facility and delivers it to a transfer hub located close to the highway . The trailer then gets hooked to an automated truck , which drives on the highway to another transfer hub located near the receiver ’ s facility .
