Episode 78 of Self-Driving Cars with Fexingo: Autonomous Vehicles, Lidar, and Mobility Tech. Lucas and Luna drill into a specific 2026 bottleneck for autonomous trucks: the 'last mile' problem. While long-haul highway autonomy is operational in Texas and Arizona, getting a fully loaded 40-ton truck to navigate a crowded urban loading dock remains unsolved. We look at the numbers — Aurora Innovation's 2025 commercial launch, TuSimple's pivot to Asia, and the 1.2 million truck-driver shortage that makes this worth solving. Plus: why lidar manufacturers are betting on a 'highway-only' sensor suite to cut costs. Also, a brief listener-support moment from Lucas and Luna. #SelfDrivingCars #AutonomousTrucks #AuroraInnovation #TuSimple #Lidar #LastMile #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #AutonomousVehicles #MobilityTech #Trucking #Logistics #HighwayAutonomy #UrbanDelivery #SupplyChain #DriverShortage #Robotruck Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
