palmer_md Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 Volvo OTTO just made their first shipment of goods in a self driving truck. They call their program OTTO OTTO is using Volvo trucks for their self driving vehicles. They teamed with Budweiser to make this short film about the experience. Who will have the first RV hauler that has this tech? edit: changed text after clarification from @jeffw Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffw Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 To clarify, it's not Volvo doing this. Otto is owned by Uber and was purchased by them a few years ago. They intend to make 'kits' for many different trucks that could convert them to self-driving. 2007 Volvo 780 Volvo D12D, 465hp, 1650 ft/lbs tq., ultrashift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmer_md Posted October 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 Ah, thanks for the clarification. I just assumed that it was Volvo's division since I keep seeing them on Volvo cars and trucks. http://time.com/4458507/otto-uber-deal-driverless-autonomous-trucks/ Fast developing company according to this article. Uber is going to be a huge company if they can perfect this technology. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
