Autonomous trucks reach a new milestone (with video)

Recently I had the opportunity to test-drive Covenant Transport Group’s latest addition to its fleet – the amazingly clever automatic Freightliner Cascadia fully equipped with a Detroit engine and drivetrain along with the intelligent ‘Assurance 5.0’ suite of safety systems. Suffice to say, we’ve come a long way from my first experience with Detroit back in 1990 driving a Ford LNT9000 in the Outback of Australia. The two trucks couldn’t be more different.
