The impact of a measured, methodical approach to autonomy is perhaps most apparent when it comes to safety and efficiency. Gatik's SVP of Commercialization and Operations, Philip Reinckens talks about this subject, and the wider-reaching benefits of #autonomy in this week's Fleet Maintenance magazine.

While both autonomous and zero-emissions vehicles have faced some resistance in commercial trucking, together they can enhance a fleet's safety and efficiency, according to Philip Reinckens, SVP of Commercialization & Operations at middle-mile AV developer Gatik. "You can drive more efficiently in the sense that an AV can predict the traffic situation much better,” Reinckens said. “It drives like a very careful person; there's no speeding, there's no inefficiencies like accelerating and knowing that in 300 meters there is going to be a traffic jam.” And the improvement in AVs and ZEVs are likely to improve safety systems, like ADAS, as well.
