The widespread implementation of driverless truck technology in the U.S. could reduce transportation costs by 35%, resulting in significant increases in total interstate trade value, according to new research co-written by a team of University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign economists. Self-driving truck technology “has a very high potential to change the economic geography of the U.S.,” said Taejun Mo, an Illinois graduate student and lead author of the paper.
