“A win for us is a win for all”: The collaborative path to autonomy with Plus
In the world of autonomous trucking, the path to autonomy lies in collaboration rather than competition. This is the message from Amisha Vadalia, VP of Operations and Program Management at Plus, who sat down with us at MOVE America 2025 in Detroit to discuss autonomy on a macro scale.
