The reality will likely be that you're not simply going to stop buying heavy-duty trucks that require drivers one day and switch to driverless autonomous trucks.

Yes, OEMs and autonomous driving technology developers are targeting Level 4 autonomous truck operation, which does not require a driver. But there's more that goes into fleet operations than getting the truck from A to B. In fact, with an autonomous truck—how does it start at point A? And what happens when it gets to B?

According to Nils Jaeger, head of Volvo Autonomous Solutions, what’s coming is a complete transformation of fleet business. Autonomous trucking will require a new transport ecosystem that demands a new way of thinking.

"Of course, you need to have the autonomy enabled truck," he began. "You need to have the virtual driver. You need to have uptime services. You need to have fleet management solutions, and then you need terminals. Those terminals need to be operated for autonomous trucks. It's those six elements together that form what we call the new autonomous transport ecosystem. And we are heavily engaged in developing that."
