Anyone Employed as a Driver Today will be able to Retire as a Driver

Mike Reid, the Chief Operating Officer at Embark Trucks, said that "Anyone employed as a driver today will be able to retire as a driver." What makes that statement surprising is that Embark is a leading developer of autonomous trucks. One might think that the goal of an autonomous truck company is to render drivers superfluous. The American Trucking Association estimates that there are approximately 3.5 million professional truck drivers in the United States. Mr. Reid made the statement eft's 3PL and Supply Chain Summit on June 7th.
