120-mile beer run made by self-driving truck

Uber-owned Otto partners with Anheuser-Busch to successfully test self-driving truck technology in Colorado. Otto, the self-driving truck startup bought by Uber, recently teamed with Anheuser-Busch to successfully deliver a truck-load of beer to Colorado Springs without involvement from a driver for the highway stretches of the 120-mile trip. SAN FRANCISCO -- If you're sipping a Budweiser somewhere in Colorado Springs, Colo., you just might have a robot to thank for that thirst-quenching brew. Last week, self-driving truck start-up Otto teamed with Anheuser-Busch to successfully deliver a semi-tractor full of beer from Fort Collins, through Denver and on to the southern Colorado city in the shadow of Pikes Peak. For the majority of that 120-mile trip, the truck's driver left his seat and observed the road from the comfort of the sleeper berth.
