Self Driving Trucks

[Darryn]

It seems that self driving cars are getting closer and closer...

 

Self-driving trucks have been given the nod of approval in the US under a landmark new autonomous technology trial.

The state of Nevada has granted a licence for trialling fully autonomous Freightliner semi-trailers, in a clear indication that self-driving trucks could become legislated before passenger cars due to their operating in a "less complicated traffic environment".

Under the trial conducted by Daimler, fully autonomous trucks will be permitted on certain Nevada highways, gathering valuable data from the real-world conditions.
