Autonomous commercial vehicles are coming - and they’re bringing beer!
Via the Denver Post:
A self-driving tractor-trailer carried a load of Budweiser beer more than 120 miles to Colorado Springs from Fort Collins last week in what Anheuser-Busch says was the world’s first commercial shipment by an autonomous vehicle.
“This milestone marks the first time in history that a self-driving vehicle has shipped commercial cargo, making it a landmark achievement for self-driving technology, the state of Colorado, and the transportation industry,” the brewer said on Tuesday.
Here in Colorado, almost surprised the cargo wasn’t marijuana. The vehicle was curiously named "Otto" - but not after the "indulging" bus driver from The Simpsons - rather the Uber-owned self-driving truck maker is called Otto.
Wonder how this trip was insured? Guess you could call it an “emerging market.”
