Abstract

This paper aims to explore the application and potential impact of autonomous driving technology in the field of freight and logistics. First, the development of autonomous driving technology and its application in freight and logistics, including autonomous trucks, drones and drone delivery, as well as automated warehousing and sorting systems, are introduced. Then, the potential impacts of autonomous driving technology, such as improved efficiency, cost reduction, enhanced safety, and reduced environmental impact, are analyzed. The challenges faced by the application of autonomous driving technology, such as technological challenges, legal and ethical issues, and their impact on training and employment, are discussed. Finally, the potential advantages and strategies for addressing the application of autonomous driving technology in the field of freight and logistics are summarized, emphasizing the need to address ethical and legal issues in order to achieve sustainable and reasonable development.
