How Self-Driving Trucks Will Revolutionize Logistics

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.

Autonomous Trucks with High-tech Power from Continental

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.

By leveraging our Autonomous Transport Solutions, we are driving higher efficiency, maximizing utilization, and cutting downtime. Our autonomous trucking systems not only address the growing driver shortage but also ease the global supply chain strain significantly.

Ismail Dagli
Head of Autonomous Mobility at Continental Automotive, on the occasion of the IAA TRANSPORTATION 2024

As technology rapidly advances, we are entering a new era of transportation where autonomous vehicles have the potential to revolutionize the way we commute and travel. These self-driving vehicles, equipped with advanced sensors, artificial intelligence, and machine learning algorithms, have the capability to significantly reduce human errors that are often the cause of accidents on our roads.

Autonomous mobility

Since 2011, Continental as a technology company has periodically conducted mobility studies that focus on a variety of topics. The focus of this survey was on attitudes toward automated and autonomous driving: What role does driving play for the respondents? How willing are they to relinquish control and what significance do technological developments have for them? These questions are fundamental to acceptance of the technology. Openness to various assistance systems, also and especially to autonomous vehicles, was also queried.

Radar Vision Parking

Continental’s Radar Vision Parking makes it possible to reduce parking garage accidents and can be used in existing parking facilities. Early parking slot detection, for example, lets users park in a single stroke without driving past the spot. As radars are very compact, they can be mounted behind all painted bumpers. Together with cameras, they provide a redundant, seamless 360° view around the vehicle.
