In this brave new world of trucking, humans, machines, and AI set out on an adventure that will undoubtedly change the face of the business. The trucking industry in Malaysia is at a crossroads between innovation and automation, as the country embraces artificial intelligence technology. Here, we'll take you on a tour of the highs and lows of artificial intelligence in Malaysia's trucking sector.
