FedEx has taken a major step toward automating its delivery fleet by placing a substantial order for electric trucks capable of operating without human drivers. The move signals a potential shift in the logistics industry, as companies increasingly explore autonomous technology to reduce costs and environmental impact. While the trucks are still in development, their deployment could mark the beginning of a transition away from traditional human-driven delivery vehicles. Industry observers are watching closely to see how this shift may reshape job roles and operational standards in freight transportation.
