Could AI reduce shipping costs and grocery bills?

EAIGLE says its AI camera system can speed up truck check-ins at distribution centres, reducing time spent waiting with engines running. The company argues that shorter queues could cut fuel use and operating costs, potentially easing some of the cost pressures that affect grocery prices.

Diesel averaged $6.13 per gallon in the US for the week of 9 November, according to the Energy Information Administration. A USDA-supported study found that higher transport costs generally raised food prices in the scenarios it examined, with potatoes particularly sensitive; fuel is one factor among several behind grocery inflation.
