Has anyone heard of Aurora before? It's pretty big for them to causually launch an SAE L4 system. I wish they went into more details on the sensor suite and software architecture these trucks use.

Arent driverless trucks just Trains in worse?

For cross-country freight, yeah. For last mile deliveries within large cities or to smaller towns, that's not really something that trains can effectively cover.

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah, that seems... low, doesn't it?
