The Big Engine That Could

Bot Auto가 미국 텍사스에서 완전 무인 자율주행 18륜 트럭을 230마일 주행하는 데 성공하며 상용 무인 트럭 시대가 다가오고 있음을 보여줬다. 이 트럭은 운전자 없이도 마일당 2달러 미만의 비용으로 운행되어 물류 비용 절감 가능성을 시사한다. 다만, 안전성과 운영 경계 내에서의 리스크 관리가 중요한 과제로 남아 있으며, 현재는 중간 구간 자동화가 주로 진행되고 마지막 배송 구간은 여전히 인간 운전자가 담당한다. 각 주별 규제와 연방 법안이 상용 무인 트럭 도입의 향방을 결정할 전망이다.

The Big Engine That Could

An eighteen-wheeler drove itself 230 miles. The future of trucking is here (sort of).

Autonomous trucks, meet Wall Street. Einride, the Swedish self-driving startup, is hitting the public markets via SPAC, just weeks after raising $100M.

Sounds like a fast track to somewhere! Do you think these kinds of deep-tech companies are ready for public scrutiny?

Both companies say they are operating with Level 4 automation. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), that means the vehicles are responsible "for driving tasks within limited service areas while occupants act only as passengers and do not need to be engaged."

Super cool engineering post on ML!

Machine learning (ML) models form the backbone of autonomous vehicle (AV) development. Everything from perception to motion planning is powered in part by the datasets and models developed in a cycle commonly referred to as the “Data Engine.”

Aurora’s Data Engine: How we accelerate machine learning model workflows

Everything from perception to motion planning is powered in part by the datasets and models developed in a cycle commonly referred to as the “Data Engine.” Our ability to quickly and safely develop, deploy, and continuously improve our self-driving technology is largely dependent upon the efficiency and speed of this lifecycle.
