Waymo is betting that the future of shipping will be autonomous 18-wheelers. NBC News’ Gadi Schwartz meets Boris Sofman, the company’s head of engineering for trucking, to hear about its test program for semi-trucks. They go for a ride with a safety driver behind the wheel. As Waymo tests its self-driving trucks in Arizona, they say their biggest challenge is accounting for unpredictable behavior from others on the road. The U.S. is facing a growing shortage of truck drivers.
