Show notes
Malcolm and Julie start with headlines on liability risks from AI dash cams, Hapag-Lloyd’s jump in third-quarter profit and how the midterm election results could affect trade policy.
Eyal Cohen, founder and CEO of Humble Robotics, explains how the company’s $51 million raise will move its cabless, autonomous electric Hauler into customer pilots, and why short-haul moves between ports, rail terminals and warehouses are a strong fit for automation.
Andy Kuchar, President of Centerline Insurance Company, discusses trailer liability exposures, per-shipment cargo coverage for freight moving to and from Mexico, and how the Montgomery ruling has changed the way companies think about coverage.
Julie’s SONAR update looks at rising rates, tight flatbed and reefer capacity, early peak season activity and the pressure on small carriers as truck counts fall.
To close the show, Matt Leffler, the Armchair Attorney and co-host of Freight Expectations, breaks down where the racketeering case against C.H. Robinson and TQL stands, what AI dash cam footage means for discovery, the legal fallout from the leadership shake-up at Nvidia, and whether a safety waiver for autonomous trucks could someday apply to human drivers.
