Autonomous Semi Truck Beats Tesla to the Punch, Logs One Million Accident-Free Miles on Delivery Routes
A self-driving truck developed by autonomous vehicle company, Plus, has logged a major milestone by completing over one million miles of accident-free driving on delivery routes. The truck, which is designed for long-haul deliveries, has been in operation since 2018 and has covered over 24 million miles, making it one of the most successful autonomous vehicles on the road. The truck uses a combination of sensors, cameras, and artificial intelligence to navigate the roads and make decisions in real-time. It is also equipped with a human operator who can take control if necessary, but the truck has been able to drive autonomously on highways and local roads without any major incidents. The success of the self-driving truck is a significant achievement for the autonomous vehicle industry, which has been working for years to develop safe and reliable self-driving technology. It also has the potential to revolutionize the truck industry by reducing the need for human drivers and improving efficiency in the delivery process. Shawn Kerrigan, the COO of Plus, said, "We are thrilled to have achieved this major milestone in autonomous trucking. Our technology has been proven to be safe and reliable, and we are excited to continue to improve and expand our autonomous delivery service." The success of the self-driving truck is a testament to the advances in technology that are driving the autonomous vehicle industry forward. It is a promising sign for the future of transportation and the potential for self-driving technology to improve safety and efficiency on the roads.
