Overview
- Two autonomous Scania trucks synchronized their movements to create a gap of under one second that Red Bull athlete Matt Jones successfully jumped through.
- The project was developed with Red Bull and PlusAI over several months with advanced software work, rehearsal runs and documented safety checks.
- Scania frames the demonstration as evidence of precise, reliable control that supports its roadmap toward hub-to-hub highway freight operations.
- The company says its autonomous mining trucks are already available to customers, and it is testing trucks on European roads with safety drivers in partnership with PlusAI.
- PlusAI told Newsweek the effort used its SuperDrive platform with triple-redundant sensors and thousands of simulations to achieve centimeter-level coordination.
