The logistics landscape continues to shift rapidly—and this week, the momentum is unmistakable. Autonomous technology is no longer a glimpse of the future; it’s operating at full throttle.
Aurora has officially launched commercial driverless trucking in Texas, signaling that the era of Autonomous Truckin’ has arrived. What was once confined to R&D labs is now rolling down real highways, reshaping how freight moves across the country. At the same time, Uber and WeRide’s expansion into 15 additional cities illustrates the growing maturity of autonomous mobility partnerships at scale.
Alongside these developments, we’re tracking ZEDEDA’s maritime edge deployments, Blue Yonder’s acquisition of Pledge to bolster ESG reporting, and Siemens’ U.S. rollout of Depot360 for EV fleet management. These stories aren’t just innovations in isolation, they’re part of a broader realignment of how goods, data, and decisions flow across modern supply chains.
As always, we bring you the updates that matter most—so you can lead from the front.
And now, the news of the week:
