I would feel pulling alongside a truck or SUV at speed. Lit Motors doesn't like to think of the C-1 as a motorbike as that could limit its market.
In the US, pick-up trucks and SUVS are still big sellers. Will their owners be persuaded to down-size to make their commutes easier?

so trucks can safely haul them on highways and under bridges. This means that in the United states, most towers for 2-or 3-megawatt turbines are limited to about 260 feet.
They researched and implemented methods for controlling a large robotic arm out of that from a boom truck,

The Daimler Inspiration Truck will be tested rigorously on Nevada roads as the company gathers data about the truck performance
What different about Daimler truck? Self-driving work rigs are not new. You can see them on farms in the form of grain harvesters and planters;
But those vehicles aren't designed to operate alongside other cars and trucks on the highway.
The Inspiration Truck has been licensed by the state of Nevada to do just that share the roads.
Autonomous trucks could provide several advantages for the trucking industry. They could dramatically reduce the chance for human error,
The savings in fuel costs would come from the truck's ability to accelerate and decelerate more gradually than humans normally do.

At about 2, 300 kilograms (5, 070 pounds), the Si2 weighs about as much as a minivan or mid-sized truck.
Starting out as a food truck, it went on to become an app, and on Tuesday it became a published"author."
#Self-driving truck hits the highway in world first Daimler Trucks'has shifted gears in its ongoing effort to develop autonomous vehicles.

If researchers can figure out how to make the stuff in large quantities it could be used as a structural material for making planes and trucks as well as in battery electrodes.
Automated System Lets Trucks Convoy as One A recent demonstration involving two trucks tethered by computer control shows how automation
A pair of trucks convoying 10 meters apart on Interstate 80 just outside Reno, Nevada, might seem like an unusual sightot to mention unsafe.
But the two trucks doing this a couple of weeks ago were actually demonstrating a system that could make trucking safer and much more efficient.
While the driver in front drove his truck normally, the truck behind him was operated partly by a computernd it stuck to its leader like glue.
When instructed to do so the computer controlled the gas and brakes to pull to within 10 meters (roughly three car lengths) of the truck ahead.
The computer then kept the two trucks paired at this precise distance, as if linked by some invisible cable,
until the system was disengaged. If the truck in front stopped suddenly, the one behind could have reacted instantaneously to avoid a collision.
Most automobile companies are working on full vehicle automation, but they need to overcome significant challenges before they can deploy those technologies (see riverless Cars Are Further Away Than You Think.
since the system is automated only partially (the driver behind still steers, with the aid of a camera that shows the view ahead of the truck in front).
as it is knowneduces the wind drag on both trucks, and could therefore save trucking companies millions of dollars in fuel every year.
The trucks were fitted with technology developed by a startup called Peloton Tech (elotonis The french word for platoon.
and computers connected to each truck central computer. Video screens in both cabs show the drivers views of blind spots around the two vehicles.
Joshua Switkes, CEO of Peloton Tech, says the fuel savings are 4. 5 percent for the front truck and 10 percent for the rear truck.
This could amount to $100, 000 each year. or truck companies, these savings are enormous, Switkes says.
In theory, more trucks could be tethered virtually together this way, although the initial plan is to connect only two.
The prospect of two trucks driving so close together under computer control may raise concerns among other drivers,
but the technology involved, including the vehicle-to-vehicle communications system used to share information between the two trucks,
has been testing platoons made of three semi-automated or fully automated trucks since 2007. A U s. project, called PATH (Partners for Advanced Transportation technology

The threat came late last week after a Turkish court banned media coverage of a police raid on Turkish Intelligence agency trucks,
Perhaps not surprisingly, the news organisation continued to post new messages relating to the raid on the trucks, with other Twitter users sympathetic to the media organisation stance retweeting the messages.
