The T-Pod truck doesn’t have a steering wheel or even a cab. Swedish startup EINRIDE says it’s the first autonomous truck to be tested on public roads without a backup driver.
Swedish startup Einride began operating the electric truck on a short stretch of road in Jönköping, a transport hub in the heart of Scandinavia, on Wednesday. Einride said the trial, which is due to run until the end of 2020, is the first time a fully self-driving truck without a backup driver has been allowed on a public road. This self-driving electric truck is now being tested in an industrial zone in Sweden.
