Group Pushing For International Autonomous Truck Route

BISMARCK, ND -- No sooner than the first autonomous driving truck got a licence to hit the highways in the U.S. earlier this month, one group is hoping to take things a step further by having such trucks move freight from Mexico to Canada along their own route. According to a CBC News story, the Central North American Trade Corridor Association wants to have a self-driving truck corridor along U.S. 83, which connects with Mexico in Brownsville, TX and Manitoba in Canada. Members reportedly discussed and planned a feasibility study last week in a meeting in Bismarck, ND and hopes to work the Canadian, U.S. and Mexico governments.
