LONG BEACH, Calif. — Autonomous technologies and electrified equipment will have specific roles in the transportation and intermodal sectors and already are increasing safety and improving efficiency. As the technology continues to advance, it may gain adoption faster in the controlled situations within intermodal yards and drayage environments.

That was the thought among panelists speaking on smart equipment during the Intermodal Association of North America’s Intermodal Expo 2018 here on Sept. 16.
