But how close are we to the day that fully autonomous commercial vehicles will take to the highways? Commercial-ready technology: The modular approachThe Gen5 kodiakDriver is another big step towards self-driving commercial deployment. And it’s more streamlined, now that all sensors required for autonomous driving are contained in mirror-mounted SensorPods. One of the many crucial functions the proprietary ACE is responsible for is ensuring that Kodiak’s autonomous system can guide the truck to a safe stop when necessary. In year two, they’ll implement its autonomous driving system into off-road ATV-style vehicles that will keep soldiers out of harm’s way.
