Truck Drivers : The future of transport 6/6
Season 1, Ep. 6
•
In the last episode, we look at the future of the transport sector. How will goods be moved in the coming years? Which role will artificial intelligence play? And most importantly, will truck drivers still be needed or will they be replaced by machines? To answer these questions, we went to Intermodal Europe, the congress that brings together industry professionals in Rotterdam each year to discuss the future of the transport sector
