I worked in 18 a wheeler automation unicorn.

Never rode in one once for a reason.

Automate the transfer yards, shipping docks, and trucking terminals. Make movement of cargo across these limited use areas entirely automated and as smooth as butter. Queue drivers up and have their loads automatically placed up front so they can drop and hook in a few minutes and get back on the road.

I honestly think that's the _easier_ problem to solve by at least two orders of magnitude.

There are a bunch of companies working on that. So far off the top of my head I know of:

* Outrider: https://www.outrider.ai/

* Cyngn: https://www.cyngn.com/

* Fernride: https://www.fernride.com/

Any ideas what other ones are out there?

Promising. I'm actually more familiar with the actual transportation and logistics side of the operation and strictly within the USA. I haven't seen anything new put into serious operation out here yet but I'll definitely be watching for them.
