Scania's a company in Sweden.

It makes trucks.

Scania trucks are everywhere on the world's roads.

Scania's now testing them without a driver.

The trucks can drive themselves.

For now, there is a driver.

But he's not driving.

The truck looks normal.

But it has cameras and sensors, or 'lidars', on the roof.

These, with the GPS, control the truck.

Göran Fjällid's a Scania engineer.

Scania's control centre can help with problems.

The driver can start driving the truck too.

Lots of companies have the same idea about driverless trucks.

It's a race.

And it's important.

There aren't enough truck drivers in the world.

In 2021, they couldn't find 2.6 million drivers.

For Scania's Peter Hafmar, driverless trucks can help.

They're safe and use less energy.

There's still lots of work to do.

One problem is the laws in different countries.

But in the early 2030s, we'll have driverless trucks on our roads.
