Today\u2019s Trucking reports<\/a> from the company\u2019s fourth Outlook user conference in Nashville:<\/p>\n\u201cEvery cab will have a computer in it, and that computer is going to lead to a convergence of connected devices,\u201d he said, kicking off the event. \u201cIt\u2019s in my mind one of the most rapid-changing, transformational times in trucking.\u201d<\/p>\n
The underlying technology has certainly changed, and not exclusively with a recent mandate for electronic logging devices in the U.S.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe pace of acceleration is phenomenal,\u201d Greer said, referring to changes that have come in the company\u2019s history. Three decades ago just 60,000 computers were connected to the internet, 15% of households had computers, and digital cell phone technology was just emerging. \u201cWe\u2019ve come a long way.\u201d<\/p>\n
Today, discussions focus on issues like autonomous trucks, and \u201comni channels\u201d that will see e-commerce driving the supply chains between brick-and-mortar operations and shipments to homes.<\/p>\n
While carriers have been matched to shippers and their freight for many years, it\u2019s becoming increasingly digital through what has become known as the \u201cuberization\u201d of freight. And how is big data going to push us closer to artificial intelligence, he asked.<\/p>\n
