C.H. Robinson and Waymo launch strategic partnership. Global logistics services provider and freight forwarder C.H. Robinson and Waymo Via, the trucking and local delivery unit of autonomous driving technology company Waymo, have teamed up on a long-term, strategic partnership focused on mutually exploring the practical application of autonomous driving technology. The companies said that this partnership meshes the Waymo Driver, Waymo's autonomous technology, with C.H. Robinson's Navisphere, its connected logistics platform, which provides end-to-end visibility, consistent business processes, and strategy-driven business intelligence on a global basis. The companies said that they will focus on running multiple pilots in the Dallas-Houston transportation lane, using Waymo's autonomous trucks moving C.H. Robinson's customers' freight. They added that they will work together "to shape the future development and expansion of autonomous driving technology as an additional transportation solution." The companies noted that they will provide various benefits, including much-needed capacity, help to improve the carrier and driver experience, as well as address the business challenges posed by long-term driver shortages. |
