intriguing concept, it would sure speed up cargo transport across the border, possibly reduce the amount of drugs smuggled across with cargo, and reduce the large number of semis clogging border city freeways: An elevated autonomous freight corridor between Laredo, Texas and Monterrey, Mexico.
An autonomous logistics and infrastructure company announced approval from the Trump Administration to kick off construction on a “megaproject” intended to streamline cross-border freight transportation between Laredo, Texas and Monterrey, Mexico.
The project carries an estimate price tag of $10 billion, to be covered by Green Corridors in part through fees charged to customers moving freight through the system.
Green Corridors also says that the project will enhance border security by curbing “terrorists, human trafficking, and drug smuggling,” reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and improve visibility for freight customers through a connected mobile app. https://vimeo.com/1038957733
What's in Monterrey that it needs a dedicated road to Texas? It's not like it's a sea port on the Pacific. I'm curious.
ReplyDeleteMonterrey is very close to Saltillo and Ramos Arizpe, where Chrysler has an engine plant and GM has an assembly plant.
DeleteReminds me USR cargo carries from I, Robot. Trucks drivers that work on that route will be thrilled for sure...
