Get started
China technological development of driverless trucks and vans
China is beginning to develop more technological driverless trucks on there roads , this is done by a small group of companies but one company called Pony AI has now launched a fleet of driverless trucks that operate from two cites in China.
These trucks are driving without the aid of a human driver but some trucks have a human sitting in the driver's seat just in case of an error. The number of these driverless trucks are now being mass produce because of its cheaper, faster and more effective way of accomplishing a trip.
The more technological advancements will make this the norm eventually because satellite connection and navigation allows these trucks to drive in heavy traffic and longer distances to remote places in shorter times making it better than a human driver.
