Abstract The topic of autonomous vehicles has become popular in recent years, not only because of technological developments but also because of existing challenges in the transportation industry. Autonomization of means of transport has an element of competitive advantage among manufacturers of such vehicles. For their customers ‒ i.e., transport companies ‒ this, in turn, means greater safety, greater driving comfort, and the ability to stay in the market and not fold when such a company runs out of drivers. Over the past few years, we have dealt with such a situation ‒ on the one hand, we have seen a growing trend in the amount of cargo to be transported and, on the other hand, there is a decline in employment in the transport sector (especially cargo). The supply of labor in the industry does not cover the demand for this workforce. The goal of this research is to determine the current state of the cargo transportation sector and to formulate possible advantages and disadvantages of the partial introduction of autonomous vehicles performing cargo transportation as a response to existing threats in the industry
