This Driverless Semi-Truck Parks Itself If Systems Fail

In the video above, one of Kodiak's trucks can be seen traveling down the highway at 65 miles per hour in the right-most lane. An occupant inside the truck (but not at the wheel) cuts a cable to simulate a sudden loss of communication between the truck and its main computer. That's when Kodiak's Actuation Control Engine kicks in. ACE is Kodiak's fallback system which enables the truck to safely pull over to the side of the road when it notices a crucial system failure. In this circumstance, ACE recognizes the interruption from the cut cable and plots a lane path ahead of the truck to move onto the shoulder and begins to brake.
