FedEx has launched the first experimental route to transport mail by “Paccar” trucks, which runs between the cities of Dallas and Houston in the state of Texas, USA, covering an 800 km round trip.
The company hopes to identify potential difficulties autonomous trucks. It is still unknown when the trial period ended, but FedEx is already counting on launching a full network of drone movement by the end of 2023.
Scientists, economists and technology experts agree that the truck driver profession will disappear over time with the success of the rally truck. According to the “TechCrunch” website.

It is noteworthy that the Russian companies “KAMAZ” and Gazprom Neft last year launched a joint project of marching trucks designed to help future oil workers to work in harsh conditions, and that relying on them will avoid supply interruption workshops and reduce the chances of accidents.
According to the available information, if these trucks are running behind each other in a regular convoy, the electronic system of the first truck assesses and inspects the obstacles on the road and chooses the most appropriate path and sends that data to other truck systems to follow its predecessor in a specific and accurate path.
