A big semitrailer truck cruises along the Interstate 10 highway headed for Houston, Texas. Its cargo? Fresh strawberries from the California coast. The special thing about this apparently everyday freight transport is that no one is sitting behind the wheel – the truck drives itself. A utopia? More like a snapshot of the near future. In fact, after millions of monitored test kilometers under real traffic conditions and in simulated tests, fully self-driving trucks are about to make their debut on US highways – thanks to key technology from Continental on board, developed together with partner Aurora. Here, built-in safety systems play a crucial role.
What sounded like science fiction a few years ago will soon be reality: autonomous trucks that transport goods from A to B without a driver behind the wheel. At Continental, we are picking up the pace in this area. Together with US technology company Aurora, our aim is to bring self-driving trucking systems to the roads in the USA from 2027. Let us take a look into the future and see – through the eyes of an autonomous truck – how humans and machines will work hand in hand.
How is automated driving changing our mobility? This is something that we, as an automotive supplier, are driving forward: more safety, more comfort and convenience, more Efficiency.
The AMR vehicle (Autonomous Mobile Robots) is ideal for use in the so-called last mile: for transporting food, medicines or smaller packages to the end customer.
