Supervised autonomous refrigerated freight pilot
Plus.ai completed a supervised 2,800-mile refrigerated freight pilot for Land O'Lakes
Problem
Land O'Lakes faced heavy year-end shipping demand and wanted to test autonomous trucks for freight transport.
Approach
Plus.ai transported a refrigerated load from Tulare, California, to Quakertown, Pennsylvania. Its driving system combined sensor fusion with deep-learning vision and mapping. The truck operated primarily autonomously, with a safety driver and a safety engineer aboard.
Results
Takeaway
The pilot transported commercial cargo under human supervision. It did not establish driverless operation or measured freight cost savings.
