Forterra raised $75 million to fund the scaling of its autonomous Defense and Industrial vehicle development and deployment.? The interesting part? The round was more than 2.5 times oversubscribed. There is a clear business case for off-road autonomous vehicles, driven by growing demand on one hand and labor shortages on the other. Link in the comments ?? #autonomousvehilces #autonomoustrucks

Autonomous experiment on heavy tracked vehicles US research agency Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has been testing autonomous operations on heavy tracked vehicles. The DARPA Robotic Autonomy in Complex Environments with Resiliency (RACER) programme has successfully tested autonomous movement on a new, much larger fleet vehicle – a significant step in scaling up the adaptability and capability of the underlying RACER algorithms. The RACER Heavy Platform (RHP) vehicles, weighing 12 t, are 20 ft-long, skid-steer, tracked vehicles, based on a M5 base platform from Textron. This was developed and used in US Army campaigns of learning for robotic combat vehicle requirements, but it has been fitted with autonomous hardware and software stacks by Carnegie Robotics. The RHPs complement the 2 t, 11 ft-long, wheeled RACER Fleet Vehicles (RFVs) already in use, which have the same Ackermann steering as a car. “Having two radically different types of vehicles helps us advance towards RACER’s goal of platform agnostic autonomy in complex, mission-relevant, off-road environments that are significantly more unpredictable than on- road conditions,” said Stuart Young, the RACER programme manager.

Since 1993, the container industry has seen #Automated Guided Vehicles (#AGVs) transform terminal operations. However, the challenge of integrating manned and #unmanned traffic in a mixed operation remains, especially in dynamic environments like #RTG terminals and intermodal operations. Current Developments of #autonomous transport: - Diverse strategies from teleoperation to sensor-based navigation. - Rapid tech progress, but business viability and use case clarity on a bigger scale are still being researched. Key Challenges: - #Operational Use Cases: Ensuring autonomous solutions fit various terminal scenarios and perform - #Business Viability: Quantifying performance impacts and economic feasibility. Zack LU, Dr. Ir. and I share our high-level view of the short to medium-term Use Cases implementation for autonomous transport, instead of looking at replacing entire fleets with autonomous transport. 1. Non-mixed traffic autonomous operation 2. Limiting the capabilities of autonomous vehicles 3. Human-assisted autonomy 4. Occasion-based autonomy. The journey to large-scale autonomous terminal operations is filled with opportunities and challenges. At Portwise, we're committed to exploring feasible, near-term solutions and contributing to the evolution of autonomous transport. Stay tuned for our in-depth case studies on these scenarios, and share your thoughts!

?? Smart regulation will unlock the full potential of autonomous freight and help drive California's economic growth. We are in the first inning when it comes to autonomous heavy-duty vehicle deployments and by embracing a data-driven approach, California can set a global example in safely integrating autonomous technology into its #transportation network. Proud of the work we do at the Coalition for Reimagined Mobility to advance and shape the future of mobility. Check out our letter to the CA DMV below on updating the state’s regulatory language for the operation of autonomous heavy-duty vehicles! ?? #AutonomousVehicles #Avs #AutonomousTrucking

Recent technological progress is making it easier for heavy equipment makers to embrace autonomy. However, creating #autonomous #offroad vehicles remains complex. In this webinar we will do an in-depth exploration of autonomous offroad systems, from #construction sites to open-pit #mines. We will talk about physical modeling of heavy machinery, terrain-aware navigation and co-simulation with 3D environments. Would be great to see you there, register through the link below! :) https://lnkd.in/e7RYfnES

?? The Future of Transportation is Here! Autonomous vehicles and drones are revolutionizing how we think about delivery logistics. Companies like UPS are leading the charge by partnering with TuSimple and Waymo to deploy self-driving trucks. Meanwhile, Walmart is making waves with successful drone deliveries across several states. The benefits? Reduced labor costs and improved delivery times. It's an exciting time to be in the logistics and transportation industry! What are your thoughts on the future of autonomous delivery systems? #Logistics #Innovation #FutureOfTransportation

This Week in The Autonomy Economy This Week in The Autonomy Economy,?The Road to Autonomy Index?returned?0.27%, Japan’s economy is preparing for a seismic change in the country’s trucking and logistics sector and in Los Angeles, an individual attempted to take a Waymo autonomous vehicle for a joyride. https://lnkd.in/eipRJcMk #RoadToAutonomy #AutonomyEconomy #StockIndex #Index #AutonomousVehicles #AutonomousTrucks #Autonomy #Newsletter

I spent Labor Day weekend in San Francisco where Waymo has taken over the streets! I saw no major issues except a lot of traffic created from looky-loo's checking out the driverless vehicles. While Waymo is expanding it's robo-taxi service throughout the Bay Area and parts of Los Angeles it is still facing challenges. Last week, a Waymo vehicle re-routed into oncoming traffic in Phoenix ?? How do you feel about autonomous vehicles and robotaxis? Will they go the way of the horse and buggy or will it be the future of transportation? #mobilitynews #mobilityupdate #mobility #urbanmobility #transportation #waymo #google #alphabet #parking #parkingnews #robotaxi #avs #autonomousvehicles #nodriver #rideshare #technology #future #cars International Parking & Mobility Institute (IPMI) Parking Today Media National Parking Association
