Alphabet’s self-driving automobile unit teaming up with C. H. Robinson, truck fleet operator, to test automated trucking technology in Texas, within the forthcoming months.
The two firms can conduct several pilot programs in the upcoming years that include a test fleet to test automated trucks with a human backup driver behind the wheel for safety in Texas.

The main objective is to exhibit how Waymo’s automatic technology can give relief to the sudden shortages of the driver and to the fleets that are struggling with hauling freight restraint.

Charlie Jatt said We look forward to this collaboration with C. H. Robinson, both for their deep roots and experience in logistics and transportation.
But also as a company that shares our vision of how technology and autonomous trucking can change our industry for the better.
