How Autonomous Cascadia assure the pilot is paying attention? Freightliner Autonomous truck class 8, likewise, requires drivers to make regular steering-wheel or control inputs, so is the key for the system to assure the driver is paying attention to the road.

A large distribution center in Texas now has the "world's first" fully autonomous truck yard. The autonomous technology company ISEE launched in 2017 with AI research from MIT. The 1.7 million square foot distribution center has 750 trailer staging bays and belongs to an unnamed Fortune 100 company. The autonomous yard truck fleet reportedly operates "across all shifts, day and night, rain or shine." According to the press release, key benefits include new capacity, seamless integration, workforce development, and enhanced safety: "The US National Safety Council reports that transportation and warehousing have the highest rate of worker injury of all occupations, and being struck by equipment is one of the most common causes. By eliminating the potential for human error, the autonomous truck yard can dramatically reduce accidents and collisions. ISEE uses cutting-edge sensor technologies and advanced algorithms to ensure that every movement is executed with precision and caution." https://lnkd.in/gEKJh-dU #autonomousdriving #autonomoustrucks #supplychaintrends #truckingindustry #truckingnews #transportationtechnology #supplychaintechnology #logisticstechnology #warehousing #distributioncenter #selfdrivingvehicles #drivershortage #cdldrivers #truckingnews #truckingcompanies #transportationindustry https://lnkd.in/gvh6XPW2
