It could even come with charging infrastructure embedded in the road or an overhead electric power line to provide constant power.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It means that freight trucks can travel at higher speeds, <\/span>closer together, and without stopping.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This isn\u2019t just a pipe dream.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In December, <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/embarktrucks.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Embark trucks<\/span><\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/news-release\/2021\/12\/09\/2349047\/0\/en\/Embark-Expands-Operations-into-Texas-and-Opens-New-Autonomous-Trucking-Hub-to-Accommodate-Rapid-Growth-in-US-Sunbelt.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">announced<\/span><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the launch of a new autonomous trucking lane between Houston and San Antonio.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Houston is at the center of key 965 km (600-mile) trucking lanes, which are ideal for automation, as they cannot be completed in a single day by a human driver due to hours-of-service limitations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hauls on such lanes can see rapid improvements in speed using autonomous freight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, a 600-mile run could take approximately 22 hours to complete manually if complying with federal <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fmcsa.dot.gov\/regulations\/hours-of-service\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hours of service rules<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. That same run would take just 12 hours to complete autonomously.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Will_autonomous_corridors_mean_bigger_roads\"><\/span>Will autonomous corridors mean bigger roads?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The elephant in the room is that building autonomous vehicle corridors in the short term will require relinquishing an existing lane, or building a new one.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And when road users such as ebike and escooter riders are fighting for dedicated space \u2014 not to mention adequate sidewalks for pedestrians \u2014 this could mean that highways get a lot bigger in the short term.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then there\u2019s the challenge of whatever infrastructure is needed to augment the connected corridor. Add parking spaces for people at the autonomous bus station, EV charging points, bike racks, and (hopefully) adequate pedestrian infrastructure, and the enterprise gets exponentially bigger and more expensive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dedicated lanes for autonomous vehicles are a fantastic idea, but we\u2019re already facing huge issues around how we design and move people around cities. Creating <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">more<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> roads while governments are trying to reduce their use is not an easy sell.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite this, the creation of autonomous corridors could lead to a less crowded and more efficient use of highway infrastructure. There are just a lot of actions and decisions required before we can get anywhere near mass adoption. But it\u2019s nice to dream.<\/span>\n                        <\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
