Autonomous Trucks
With road freight projected to grow steadily in the coming decades, self-driving trucks have the potential to transform the freight industry by moving more goods, more quickly, and more sustainably. Transurban’s successful 2022 trial was the first time in Australia a highly automated self-driving truck was tested in live traffic conditions on public motorways. The partnership between Transurban and Plus will leverage Plus’s state-of-the-art self-driving software and global commercial deployment experience, including its work with commercial vehicle manufacturer IVECO to co-develop self-driving trucks for Europe. Plus’s self-driving software uses the latest advances in generative AI, machine learning, computer vision, and other state-of-the-art algorithms to empower vehicles with superhuman awareness and control. Integrated with advanced lidar, radar, and camera sensors, Plus’s software can detect and precisely track objects, predict their movement, and then safely manoeuvre the vehicle.
