The Impact of Autonomous Truck Technology on US Interstate Trade
Journal of Regional Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Recent advances in autonomous and semi‐autonomous vehicle technologies promise substantial cost savings for goods shipped by truck. In this study, we quantify the impacts of these transport cost reductions on the US interstate trade using a structural gravity model of domestic trade. Based on projected cost savings from the widespread adoption

Revisiting the Hummeln structure, Sweden—A shallow marine Cambrian impact structure
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract Hummeln is a simple impact structure located in south‐eastern Sweden. It is approximately 1.2 km in diameter and almost completely covered by a lake. Here, we present the first detailed investigation of impactites and mapping of the 164.25 m deep drill core Hummeln‐1 with a focus on impact metamorphism and the impact process.
