The Swedish heavy goods vehicles (HGV) manufacturer Scania has begun piloting autonomous vehicles for haulage.
At this point in the development process, despite the presence of a driver poised at the steering wheel, the vehicle's actually self-driving while delivering consignments of goods.
At first glance, there's nothing exceptional about the lorry, save for a rack on the roof loaded with cameras and sensory equipment, such as lidars.
Inside the cab, small gadgets and screens feedback to a computer and analytical data compiled from the sensors and GPS effectively operate the lorry.
Göran Fjällid, on Scania's engineering team, explains.
If anything goes amiss, every move is monitored back at control headquarters.
Under Scania's supervision, corrections can immediately be put in place, or otherwise the safety driver can simply hit the gas to take over control of the HGV.
A host of countries across the globe are in the competition to develop autonomous vehicles, motivated by the fact that hauliers are in short supply - in 2021 there were apparently 2.6 million empty vacancies for drivers worldwide.
Scania's vice-president Peter Hafmar maintains that other relevant bonuses include road safety and fuel consumption.
Although there are a number of hurdles to overcome, such as meeting legislative demands in different countries, it's foreseeable that autonomous vehicles may well be a familiar sight on our roads within the ensuing decade.
