Georgia is determined to make its highways and all transportation safer for everyone. They have made note of the past failures and want to position Georgia to lead the next major revolution in transportation in America: autonomous trucking.
This is about making our roads safer. It’s about stopping a significant statewide truck driver shortage, stopping over-exhaustion among today’s limited drivers, and protecting the hundreds of thousands of Georgia workers who depend on safe, reliable freight movement.
