They started truck automation in mining and container terminals in ports. Areas with no other traffic and the possibility of active guidance (beacons along&#x2F;embedded in the route and so on.)<p>Highways are the next obvious use. I could see automated trucks driving down the transcanadian highway for example or similar long interstate stretch.<p>I gotta say though, if we&#x27;re going that way, why not go intermodal, add a RR right of way through the interstate with a double-track, operate automated freight trains and automated transshipment terminals. Just load the trailer onto the train and go. I know rail isn&#x27;t sexy but it&#x27;d make sense in terms of carbon footprint (trains could be multimode diesel-electric&#x2F;electric depending on corridor.) And most of that rail net could be fully automated.
