Self-driving vehicles are stimulating conversations globally, but they are in fact a very local challenge. Currently, onboard sensors, computer vision, machine learning and/or third-party datasets are used to triage roadway guidelines, but this approach is imprecise, costly (resources and dollars) and increases the risk of rule violations.
The trucks will be deployed in Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Nevada, Ohio and Texas later this year. When the economic benefits of conversion became less certain, the company pivoted away from passenger vehicles and began to focus on electrifying commercial vehicles. AMP Electric Vehicles went public in 2010.
