Investors have poured billions of dollars into robotaxi companies, with GM subsidiary Cruise and Alphabet’s self-driving unit Waymo bringing in the bulk of that funding.

But soaring costs and regulatory uncertainty have prevented these companies from fully commercializing their solutions, even with consolidation in the space. Former market leader Argo AI even shut down in October, despite billion-dollar investments from Ford and Volkswagen.

Most recently, GM’s Cruise reported disappointing numbers, losing $561M in Q1’23 on $30M in revenue. The results fuel growing concerns around the viability of robotaxis.

114-year-old shipping giant Maersk is the second-largest shipping company by container capacity in the world, after Mediterranean Shipping Company. In 2021, the company posted annual revenue of $61.8B — marking robust growth of 55% year-over-year.

However, the Covid-19 pandemic brought significant disruption to the global shipping industry. Companies faced canceled flights and sailings, delays at ports, and widespread shortages of both workers and containers. Supplier delivery times increased dramatically, and despite port productivity in line with or above pre-pandemic levels, shipping vessels still sat idle 2X–3X longer than pre-pandemic times.

The post 60+ Companies Shaping The Future Of Autonomous Trucking & Next-Gen Freight appeared first on CB Insights Research.

]]>
While self-driving passenger cars tend to get the most attention, autonomous driving tech is poised to have an even greater impact on the global trucking and logistics industry. 

Autonomous trucks aren’t yet commonplace on the world’s highways, but recent advances in autonomous trucking technologies mean that self-driving trucks could soon become a vital part of modern logistics operations — and an everyday sight for millions of motorists. Autonomous trucking could hugely increase efficiency and reduce costs, as well as help shore up critical weaknesses in many supply chains that cause shortages during disruptions like the Covid-19 pandemic.

Investors are starting to pay more attention to the space, backing increasingly larger deals to autonomous trucking startups in recent years.

Autonomous trucking companies are raising larger deals

Some recent developments in autonomous logistics are transforming trucks themselves, as auto manufacturers envision a future in which truckers’ cabs serve as mobile offices, fully connected to the grid via 5G and other wireless networking technologies. But beyond the vehicles, an entire industry of supportive technologies has emerged to provide solutions for logistics and goods haulage, from fleet management to freight matching.

Freight matching

Cost and time efficiencies can make or break logistics firms, which is why freight matching — pairing cargo freight with specific drivers — is so important. In the past, brokers would serve as vital middlemen between consignors and drivers, but today, much freight matching is handled algorithmically.

With logistics firms vying to offer more efficient, cost-effective services to their clients, freight matching is likely to remain intensely competitive in the coming years, especially as automation becomes more prevalent across freight and fleet management and as established players attempt to diversify their offerings.
