Autonomous Truck Test Drive! -- The End of Trucking? -- Truck Driver’s Review of PlusDrive SYSTEM

Jun 25, 2022


We traveled all the way to California to test out some of the most remarkable new technology in the autonomous trucking sector. I think most drivers would agree that autonomous trucks are not necessarily a truck driver’s friend. I think this company is aiming to change that. We took a look at what the technology can do when combined with a professional driver. Not only is this product engineered with the driver in mind, but it is directly a product of real truck driver input. Plus is a unique company redefining the collaboration of autonomous software and professional drivers. Check it out.

Special thanks to our excellent editor Christopher!
