"Driverless Truck Companies Set to Eliminate Human Copilots by 2024"
Aurora Innovation, Kodiak Robotics, and Gatik AI, three startups in the autonomous vehicle industry, are planning to deploy driverless trucks without human safety drivers on Texas roads by 2024. These companies, which have been testing their technology and have already worked with major clients like Walmart and FedEx, are facing criticism that their push for driverless trucks is driven by financial motives rather than safety considerations. Despite the concerns, they are moving forward with their plans, leveraging advanced sensors and software to guide the trucks.
