Urban delivery in the Cold Chain - Cold Chain Summit
Sam Saad, head of operations for Gatik, an autonomous vehicle startup, explained during a fireside chat Friday as part of FreightWaves’ Cold Chain Summit, that the company could have driverless vehicles on roadways by next summer. Speaking with Kevin Hill, director of research and editorial for FreightWaves, Saad said that fully autonomous vehicles might be on the road “before summer rolls around next year.” “The short answer is we are quite ready to go on the tech side,” Saad said. “We want to ensure we can work closely with our customers and with regulators when we start doing the first unmanned runs. I can’t give you an exact timeline, but I will say that before summer rolls around next year we certainly plan to have that well in the bag.”
