There is a five-mile extension of the existing 14-mile autonomous bus trial (CAVForth) from Edinburgh Park station across the Forth Road Bridge in the UK in an attempt to gather more complex data, utilising an upgraded version of Fusion’s CAVStar autonomous driving software and ADL’s Enviro100EV electric bus.

IDV hope to build on Horiba Mira’s expertise in remote control, teleoperated and autonomous vehicle technology.

ZF states that upgrading to 5G will ensure that demands for seamless connectivity and large data transfers between vehicles and other nodes in the network are met at its test track.

UK bus and coach operator, Stagecoach, tested the first autonomous bus (Alexander Dennis Enviro200AV) to carry passengers over the Forth Road Bridge, near Edinburgh, as part of the CAVForth project.

In conditions of poor visibility, human drivers often struggle to safely navigate their vehicles, and AI drivers have even greater difficulties. This month, T&BB spoke to CEO and co-founder of Sensible 4, Harri Santamala, about the company and its product, DAWN – an autonomous driving technology specifically designed to deal with all weathers and all visibility conditions.

The money will be used to bolster its range of vehicles as it expands into new markets across Europe and North America.

The project is employing PACCAR’s Peterbilt 579M trucks utilising Aurora’s latest version of its integrated hardware and autonomy software system, the Aurora Driver Beta 5.0, which is the cornerstone of the company’s autonomous trucking service, Aurora Horizon.

South Korea is one of the more progressive countries to try and adopt AI and autonomous driving technology om public transport.

The first in an open-ended series of features on the tech industry's involvement in the commercial vehicle space, this article takes a glance at how the technology, business model, and culture of 'Silicon Valley-type' start-ups have already changed the way the CV industry works.

Waabi has developed an autonomous driving program which it taught using its own simulation software, which provides a set of driving scenarios to actively teach and assess AI drivers.

The YT200EV terminal tractor features 350 kWh Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries that provide up to 10 hours of operation and can be fully charged within an hour.

'MAN SimplePay' allows the truck to automatically pay for fuel at the pump and forward the bill to the fleet manager, meaning that the driver does not have to pay manually by cash or card.
