## Buyer Intent Signals
Problems: Traditional Human-Driven Freight: Reliance on human drivers for all middle-mile logistics, facing challenges like driver shortages, wage inflation, and Hours-of-Service regulations. | Third-Party Logistics (3PL) Providers: Outsourcing freight operations to 3PL companies that manage fleets and drivers, without integrating autonomous technology. | Maintain Current Inefficient Logistics: Continuing with existing logistics infrastructure and processes, potentially leading to higher costs, slower delivery times, and reduced supply chain resilience
Solutions: Gatik autonomous freight | Gatik driverless trucks | Gatik PepsiCo partnership | middle-mile autonomous logistics | Gatik $600M deal | Advanced Fleet Management Software: Using software for route optimization, tracking, and dispatching for human-driven fleets, but without autonomous driving capabilities.
