The Waymo Via engineering team has received one of the first Freightliner Cascadia trucks developed specifically for its autonomous-tech Waymo Driver.
Waymo is the latest autonomous-truck developer to partner with Ryder to help scale its operations but likely won't be the last.
Waymo’s autonomous Class 8 trucking unit will haul freight between facilities in Houston and Fort Worth, Texas, for one of J.B. Hunt’s top customers.
In the future, you may have your choice of two different versions of a Level-4 autonomous Freightliner Cascadia.
Waymo offers a virtual ride-along in the cab of one of its autonomous fleet trucks. A 15-minute loop around the south side of Phoenix reveals how the AI recognizes and responds to traffic.
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.
Waymo announced two new research and development facilities to help it advance its Waymo Driver autonomous driving system across multiple vehicle platforms and environments.
An autonomous-truck partnership between Waymo and Daimler will produce a unique version of the Freightliner Cascadia fitted with integrated redundancy for all safety systems, rather than bolt-on components. It will be driven by Waymo's advanced AI driving system, The Waymo Driver.
Before the industry began eyeing the possibility of driverless semis, there was a little car secretly driving around the country with no one at the wheel. This has now evolved into a new project, Waymo Via, which is looking to make autonomous trucking and local delivery a reality.
