Autonomous Trucks
Despite what scriptwriters suggest, self-learning computers – specifically the machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) that guide the decisions – are hardly the enemy. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are drawing trucking-specific insights from an ever-expanding flow of telematics data. “There is AI for an individual truck, which could involve anything from vision systems and autonomous driving, to predictive maintenance. Truck OEMs are actively monitoring vehicle data to guide opportunities for changes like engine software updates and more. Bhardwaj points directly to trailer telematics systems for an example of that.
