Our take
With self-driving vehicles becoming more common, the tuck shipping industry stands to benefit from autonomous driving technology, particularly given the current shortage of drivers in the US.
PlusAI provides self-driving technology for trucks to make fleets safer, more fuel-efficient, and sustainable. It uses machine learning to analyze routes and scenarios, providing real-time data to trucks equipped with the PlusDrive system. Unlike competitors focusing on urban transportation, PlusAI is tackling long-distance logistics, though regulatory challenges in the US remain a concern.
Currently, Plus offers a system that enhances driver safety and efficiency, while continuing to develop fully autonomous solutions. Following a successful pilot with IVECO, PlusAI is testing its automated trucks on German roads and plans to expand into other European markets, like Spain, very soon.
