Freightliner Inspiration Truck
The Freightliner Cascadia Inspiration is an autonomous truck from Freightliner , a brand of Daimler Trucks North America . As of May 2015, two trucks of this type have had a license for road traffic in Nevada . According to Daimler, this makes them the first autonomous trucks that can be driven on public roads.
The truck, which is around 26 meters long and weighs over 30 tons, is based on the US production model Freightliner Cascadia Evolution , which is equipped with Detroit Connect (on-board diagnosis and fleet monitoring system) and Highway Pilot technology . The latter includes front radar, a stereo camera and tried-and-tested assistance systems (distance control). A tablet computer serves as the operating unit.
