Inside a High School Truck Driver Training Program
November 10, 2021
Hear what one truck-driver-turned-high-school-teacher is doing to usher in the next generation of truck drivers through one of the nation’s first high school truck driver programs.
There are currently dozens of driverless trucks operating on interstate highways (with safety drivers), mixing and mingling with humanized cars and trucks. The technology obviously works. As they log more and more miles, we are hearing about few reported incidents of automation gone wrong. Does that mean they are ready for prime time? Christopher Hart doesn’t think so. He’s a former chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board and has been studying and observing automation in transportation for years. He’s still uneasy about sharing the road with fully autonomous vehicles. Find out why on this episode of HDT Talks Trucking.
