Autonomous trucks learn and think and adapt to situations just like human drivers, but they do it faster, and they never tire or become distracted. At least that’s the promise. Learn more about the technology behind autonomous trucks.
Lots of new partners and high-dollar investments indicate autonomous truck research and development is entering a new phase.
Daimler announced a strategic partnership with Luminar Technologies, a provider of automotive lidar hardware and software technology, to address a key enabling technology for autonomous truck operation, or what Daimler calls "highly automated" trucks.
Torc Robotics and Daimler Trucks North America’s co-development of autonomous truck technology takes the next step, as the second iteration of test trucks designed to work with Torc’s SAE Level 4 autonomous self-driving technology hit the road for testing.
Unlike their competitors, Daimler Trucks and Torc Robotics won’t give a definitive timeline to deployment for driverless trucks — and say that in their development, they must be built from the ground up.
