how can the introduction of autonomous trucks cause a disruption that is good for the trucking industry ?

Solutions

Expert Solution

An industry wide experimentation and implementation of thse autonomous trucking would essentially create a serious disruption in everyone's lives, that would ultimately change the economy and especially the trucking industry is such a way that has not felt in the decades.

1. It is expected that autonomous trucks would hit the roads sooner tha the autonomous cars because businesses are not resistant to change as the citizens are and thus it would create a huge profit margin for the trucking industry.

2. These autonomous trucks are expected to be safer because of the advanced complex system designed of spatial awareness and braking which would reduce the risk cost of these companies.

3. At last, these autonomous trucks are expected to be cheaper which is because of the reduced labour, higher productivity, boosted fuel efficiency and fewer accidents which is thereby beneficial for the trucking industry for both long and short scale.

Independent trucking (i.e. large semi trucks) is an industry that can be considered perfectly competitive. Suppose that U.S. manufacturers produce less output. What impact will this have on the independent trucking industry in the short run, in terms of the market price, output of an individual firm, and market equilibrium quantity? Explain your reasoning. What impact will the increase in manufacturing output have in the long run? Explain your reasoning.
