…has relationships with industry leaders including German auto supplier ZF Friedrichshafen AG, Japanese auto supply giant Denso, and Nikon, a global manufacturer and supplier of metrology and inspection equipment. We've started to see trials of autonomous trucks—when can retailers, consumers, and logistics providers expect fleets? Kuepper: Fleets are coming, and they’re already using Aeva’s technology. TuSimple’s Autonomous Freight Network, which is a fleet of trucks used by customers like UPS, is making regular trips between hubs in the Southwest, with plans to expand to Florida soon and across the U.S. by 2024. And Amazon, which is one of the largest…

…system, Kodiak said. In addition, the truck incorporates the ZF Full Range Radar and Luminar's long-range Iris lidar for performance and reliability. The company said these sensors, combined with its previously announced integration with Hesai Technnology Co. 360-degree scanning lidar for side- and rear-view detection, will provide automotive grade-reliability. All three sensors are purpose-built to meet the needs of autonomous trucks, which need to “see” long-range in a wide variety of weather conditions to safely operate at highway speeds, it said. The ZF Full Range Radar provides four-dimensional (4D) capabilities, measuring the distance, height, lateral angle, and velocity of objects…

…McKinsey reports. However, most companies are in stealth mode. ZF revealed autonomous Terminal Yard Tractor to the world last year. Running defined lanes within a restricted area, the yard trucks present an easy use case for moving freight from point A to point B autonomously. An extended sensor set enables the Terminal Yard Tractor to monitor its surroundings, while the central computer – ZF ProAI – coordinates the functions of longitudinal and lateral guidance, allowing the tractor to take the trailer from the truck and autonomously maneuver it to the ramp for loading and discharging. “These vehicles can prevent maneuvering…

…to our cooperation with AI computing company NVIDIA and ZF, one of the world’s largest automotive suppliers. And while most are still talking about Tesla’s splashy announcement, we’re taking action. Our DHL Supply division has just placed an order for ten Tesla Electric Class 8 Semi Trucks, making it one of the first third-party logistics (3PL) companies to do so. We’ll begin testing them in the U.S. once available in 2019. A Much-Needed Co-Pilot Both companies and drivers will benefit from the technology. For starters, we think the ITF is spot on: autonomous trucks will be much more energy efficient,…
