2025 Autonomous Trucking Conference
Evolution of Autonomous Trucking in North Dakota and the Northern Plains

“Autonomous vehicles have the potential to significantly improve our transportation ecosystem,” is how one presenter framed the future of autonomous trucking during the second Autonomous Trucking Conference (ATC) held September 15 and 16, 2025, at the Alerus Center in Grand Forks, ND. The event was hosted by the North Dakota State University’s Upper Great Plains Transportation Institute with support from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. About 100 attendees from several states came eager to learn more about this rapidly growing sector of the transportation industry.

Both POST and PDH credits are available for attending the 2025 Autonomous Trucking Conference. For more information, contact Jody Bohn Baldock at jody.bohn.baldock@ndsu.edu.
