Autonomous Trucks
Background History: It's no doubt that we've all heard of the up-and-coming wave of self-driving vehicles, but unbeknownst is the impact of autonomous driving on the trucking industry. Many companies like Daimler, Waymo, Tesla, and Embark are actively testing autonomous technologies on trucks and making significant strides towards perfecting the technology. Autonomous technology is becoming more and more popular because it is proving improvement among productivity, fuel costs, and traffic on major roadways. With all the testing and development occurring, it's safe to say that self-driving trucks will soon become a normal sight on highways. How it Works: Many of the self-driving systems designed by companies establish and maintain an internal map of their surroundings by merging together the information gathered by an array of sensors mounted on the vehicle. The system's software is in charge of processing this information and sending instruction
