ATA Statement on CARB Clean Truck Partnership
American Trucking Associations President and CEO Chris Spear issued the following statement about the California Air Resources Board’s new Clean Truck Partnership: “We’ve long advocated for a single, national standard that respects and preserves interstate commerce. However, the trucking industry shouldn’t be strong armed by the government into an agreement with such terms. “Our association represents motor carrier members – the paying customers who will inherit the costs of this agreement – and we will not roll over nor relinquish our right to litigate with any party when our interests are threatened. It is clear that America has lost its way when the government bullies the private sector to succumb to unachievable timelines, targets and technologies.”
FedEx’s CEO explains why regular humanoid robots can’t get the job done in its warehouses
Raj Subramaniam, chief executive of the global e-commerce and transportation company, spoke in an interview with The New York Times, published on Sunday, about his approach to technology.
"Truck unloading and truck loading are a very difficult problem for robotics to solve — packages come in every size, shape, and weight," he said.
He added, "We're not looking for humanoid robots — we're looking for super humanoid robots, because maybe they need to have a couple of elbows. More degrees of freedom."
The executive said that FedEx is still in the pilot stage for these robots, and was "not ready for prime time yet."
Beyond humanoid robots, he said, FedEx was drilling down on AI, training on data from its 17 million deliveries daily around the world to predict delivery times for its customers accurately.
