Shippers increasingly burdened by unexpected “air taxes” levied by carriers. Everyone has had the experience of opening up a box and finding it mostly filled with bubble wrap and other packing material.

After Google’s autonomous car has crashed in Mountain View, many critics have jumped to the conclusion that the whole idea behind autonomous vehicles in logistics is unsafe. They’ve forgotten to mention that Google’s autonomous vehicles have driven more than 1,4 million miles, without a single incident.
