Testing has been going on for some time, and Ohio has been at the forefront of autonomous automotive technology. Now, trucks are being dispatched on the road for a customer.
A partially autonomous semi-truck, operated by Aurora Innovation, is currently traveling through Ohio as part of a pilot program to test self-driving technology on public roads. The truck, which still has a human safety driver on board, is equipped with advanced sensors and cameras that allow it to navigate highways and make decisions in real-time. The pilot program aims to gather data and assess the technology's performance in various conditions, with the ultimate goal of improving safety and efficiency in the trucking industry. Ohio is one of several states where Aurora is conducting these tests, and the company plans to expand its operations in the coming years.
