Why this is canonical
'Middle mile' is an established logistics industry term for the segment connecting regional distribution centers, sortation hubs, and fulfillment nodes — distinct from both line haul and last-mile delivery. It is a key segment for autonomous trucking because the routes are more defined and controllable than urban last-mile. 'Autonomous middle mile' on .ai names this specific segment precisely at the moment of its commercial emergence.
