Скачать или смотреть Autonomous Trucking in Fort Worth: Inside the MIZ

Autonomous trucking in Fort Worth is gaining momentum—and it’s not just because of the technology. In this episode of On The Road, we sit down with Ian Kinne, Director of Logistics and Innovation at Hillwood, to learn how the Mobility Innovation Zone (MIZ) in Fort Worth is helping shape the future of freight.

Kinne explains why companies like Torc Robotics, Aurora, and Volvo Autonomous Solutions, and more are operating in the AllianceTexas region. With access to major interstates, consistent year-round weather, and early regulatory support from Texas Senate Bill 2205, Fort Worth has become a key location for autonomous freight development.

But location alone isn’t enough. Safety remains the foundation of deployment—and not just for the public. Kinne shares how autonomous trucking companies are driven by rising insurance costs and the need to reduce accidents. He also discusses new legislation aimed at limiting unsafe AV operators and how partnerships with TxDOT help deliver better road-level data to support safe operation.

We also explore the role of public-private investment in AllianceTexas, and look ahead at energy trends. Watch the full episode to get insight from Ian Kinne on how Fort Worth is preparing for the next phase of autonomous freight—and why collaboration, not just innovation, will drive it forward.
