Self-Driving Trucks

Self-Driving Trucks

You all know about the how new technologies growing too faster, now our road taxi has become an air taxi (news form Dubai) similarly, a new invention has come , now our wheel-driving trucks become self-driving trucks. In Colorado, last October, Otto heavy machinery manufacturing company tested an Otto-outfitted self-driving truck carried 2,000 packages 200 kilometers down Interstate 25 in Colorado from Fort Collins to Colorado, while the truck’s only human driver sat in the sleeper berth at the back of the cab without touching the vehicle’s controls.

This type of advance commercial delivery is the first ever delivery to be handled by an autonomous huge heavy truck, illustrated that what is the potential of the technology in this decade. This self-driving truck is piloted by a human driver to and from the highway, even after it was on the highway, a car drove ahead of the truck to make sure the far right lane remained clear. Otto’s system is programmed to stay in that lane because on many roads trucks are restricted to the far right and are generally considered safer there. And the truck was surrounded by several cars carrying Otto personnel and Colorado State Patrol staff.
