Staff Reporter Kentucky Lawmakers Override Veto, OK Fully Autonomous Vehicles [Stay on top of transportation news: Get TTNews in your inbox.] Kentucky has legally paved the way for autonomous vehicles on its roadways with the legislators gathering enough support April 12 to overcome significant opposition in both chambers to override Gov.

Volvo's Chayene de Souza and Magnus Gustafson discuss how new, connected trucks can boost business, enhance safety practices, and reinforce preventative maintenance plans.
