LAS VEGAS — Advances in the development of autonomous trucks highlighted a heavy focus on commercial vehicles and supply chain technologies at CES 2023. Developers such as Waabi, Waymo, Aurora, Gatik, Plus and Kodiak Robotics showcased their automated driving systems, met with attendees and participated in panel discussions at the massive annual technology expo, held Jan. 5-8.
Other freight transportation and logistics trends at the show included investments in e-commerce fulfillment technology and the rollout of electric-powered trucks. The extensive presence of self-driving truck exhibits at CES illustrated how autonomous vehicle technology — once focused predominantly on passenger cars and ride-hailing services — has increasingly shifted toward commercial and industrial applications in recent years.
