Sam Saad, head of operations for Gatik, an autonomous vehicle startup, explained during a fireside chat Friday as part of FreightWaves\u2019 Cold Chain Summit, that the company could have driverless vehicles on roadways by next summer.\nSpeaking with Kevin Hill, director of research and editorial for FreightWaves, Saad said that fully autonomous vehicles might be on the road \u201cbefore summer rolls around next year.\u201d\n\u201cThe short answer is we are quite ready to go on the tech side,\u201d Saad said. \u201cWe want to ensure we can work closely with our customers and with regulators when we start doing the first unmanned runs. I can\u2019t give you an exact timeline, but I will say that before summer rolls around next year we certainly plan to have that well in the bag.\u201d\n\xa0\nWatch\nApple Podcast\nSpotify\nMore FreightWaves Podcasts\n\xa0\nVisit FreightCasts sponsor: Convoy makes it easy to get your full truckload freight covered by high-quality carriers at competitive rates.
