Pull over, Uber. This self-driving truck is driving with no one on board

#artificialintelligence

Two days after Uber announced self-driving truck operations in Arizona, which feature a backup driver as a precaution, Starsky Robotics said it has completed a seven-mile drive without a human in the vehicle. In mid-February, Starsky conducted the test on a closed portion of Route 833 in Hendry County, Florida, with no traffic. The 20,000-pound unmanned robotic truck drove 35 mph during the run. Starsky is the first company to publicly test an empty cabin for autonomous trucks. Its aim is to make a delivery without a human present by year's end.
