Unlocking physical AI with self-driving trucks, moving the world’s goods with intelligent logistics

The logistics industry is at a turning point. Advancements in artificial intelligence are reshaping how goods move across supply chains, making freight transportation more efficient, reliable, and scalable. At the forefront of this transformation is Physical AI—AI that enables machines to interact with and navigate the physical world, including self-driving trucks.

NVIDIA continues to lead the charge in Physical AI with its NVIDIA AGX platform to enable autonomous trucks. In tandem, Uber Freight continues to advance the integration of autonomous trucking routes into our dynamic capacity offering, providing shippers more ways to increase efficiency and cost savings, sustainably.

Revolutionizing logistics with AI-Driven solutions

Savings

The potential impact of Physical AI in logistics is enormous. 50% of the 195+ billion freight miles driven each year* in the US could be autonomous by 2035, slashing costs and increasing efficiency. According to partner estimates, shippers and carriers may see a 13%-32% savings in fuel consumption per loaded mile. Uber Freight estimates that this could mean a savings of more than $6.8 billion dollars each year for the logistics industry by leveraging a robust autonomous freight network.

Uber Freight has integrated NVIDIA DRIVE autonomous partners into our dynamic capacity starting with one of the most traveled routes in Texas estimated to be a $3B freight corridor annually. Our continued partnership with NVIDIA DRIVE AGX partners will result with more lanes opening in the future to help fulfill this 2035 autonomous trucking vision.

Growing industry challenges solved

Additionally, by incorporating NVIDIA DRIVE AGX autonomous trucking partners into our dynamic capacity we are helping to solve some key pain points in the trucking industry:
