Can You Give an Autonomous Driver a ‘Driver’s License’?

Safely scaling autonomous trucks requires preparing the technology for situations it may rarely encounter on public roads.

How Simulation Helps Train Autonomous Drivers He pointed to construction zones as one example.

That allows its autonomous driver to encounter combinations that even experienced human drivers may rarely see.

Ron called the company’s simulation technology “a huge accelerator in terms of safety.”

He compared the process to creating “a sort of a driver license” for an autonomous driver, as it has to pass a series of tests before being put into service.
