The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday edition that driverless trucks are coming to American highways. A New York Times dispatch to The Globe says that in California, PlusAI produces autonomous software that is going into factory-built International trucks that are set to drive on Texas roads in 2027. Its partners include a truck-making subsidiary of Volkswagen called Traton Group (with Scania, MAN and International), as well as Iveco and Hyundai. Shawn Kerrigan, the chief operating officer of PlusAI, said the industry's momentum was in Texas, with the routes, the weather and the favourable regulatory environment. Volvo, based in Sweden, has driverless trucks for European mining operations that, like Kodiak's, take place far from busy interstates. Another Swedish player, Einride -- whose trucks do not even have a cab for drivers -- is moving cargo locally for GE Appliances in Tennessee. Volvo Autonomous Solutions is also working with Aurora and Waabi to put self-driving semis on the road in the United States in 2027. Nils Jaeger, president of Volvo Autonomous Solutions, said Volvo planned to build "hundreds" of trucks in 2027 with either Aurora or Waabi aboard, and move forward into full commercial deployment.
