Loblaw has signed a multi-year agreement with global autonomous vehicle company Gatik to build out a self-driving truck network in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).
Loblaw says this is the largest-planned rollout of autonomous trucks in North America, servicing more than 300 of its grocery stores in the region.
In an email to MobileSyrup, Loblaw said the partnership with Gatik would have “no impact” on its workforce.
Loblaw also faced significant controversy last year over rising grocery prices, with thousands of frustrated Canadians choosing to boycott the company.
ET: Added additional information from Loblaw about the impact of driverless trucks on its workforce.
