Third-party validation: Table stakes for driverless trucking

In light of Aurora Innovation’s decision to push out commercial driverless trucking until next spring, it’s worth revisiting how third-party validation is becoming a price of entry for autonomous technology. Much of the public still fears it and would-be users know little about it.

Gatik and Outrider look outside for building confidence

Middle-mile autonomous business-to-business logistics leader Gatik and distribution yard autonomy startup Outrider understand their word about safety may not be...

Cummins X15N natural gas engine proven to deliver diesel-like performance

On a recent special episode of Truck Tech, Alan Adler was joined by Shawn Hricko, Jamestown Engine Plant manager with Cummins, to discuss the nuts and bolts of the X15N natural gas engine (X15N).

What does proposed China component ban mean for autonomous trucks?

Autonomous trucking developers knew the Commerce Department was on the cusp of slamming the door on certain Chinese components. In fact, this week’s preliminary rule came later than expected. Now they have to sort out what it means.

So far, they don’t have much to say. Of the leading driverless trucking companies – two of which could launch before the end of the year – only one, Plus, offered substantive comment. Others demurred or pointed to a less-than-substantive statement from the Autonomous...
