 Listen in as Aaron Campbell discusses dynamic self-driving trucks in the supply chain on this episode of  The reBound.

Not that long ago, self-driving, autonomous trucks might have seemed like something out of The Jetsons. Or a logistics manager’s dream. Today, autonomous vehicles may not yet be mainstream, but they are beginning to find a home in the supply chain, especially in sunny southwestern states. Broader adoption is in the forseeable future.

On this episode of The reBound, hosts Abe Eshkenazi, CEO of the Association for Supply Chain Management, and Bob Trebilcock, consulting editor of Supply Chain Management Review, explore the bottlenecks, barriers and benefits to autonomous fleets with Aaron Campbell, the go-to-market lead for the autonomous technology group at Daimler Truck North America.
