How autonomous driving technology supports Japan’s aging truck drivers
Japan’s trucking industry faces a labor shortage, with an aging workforce and the demanding nature of long-haul driving. To tackle this, Preferred Networks are adopting autonomous driving technology to keep elderly drivers active while reducing physical and mental strain.

With fewer truck drivers, Japan’s logistics sector faces mounting challenges, making automation essential.

“We have invested in a company called T2. This company is kind of a joint venture that originally came around through a collaboration between us and Mitsui & Co. The field we are currently working on is the automated driving of trucks,” said Toru Nishikawa, Co-founder & CEO of Preferred Networks.
