FedEx Corp. on Wednesday said it was working with autonomous
driving technology company Aurora and truck manufacturer Paccar
Inc. on a commercial pilot program to use autonomous trucks.
FedEx will use the autonomous vehicle to transport loads between
Dallas and Houston along the I-45 corridor, the companies said.
Although the trucks will operate autonomously, a human driver will
be in the vehicle as an additional safety measure.
In January, Paccar and Aurora agreed to develop, test and
commercialize autonomous Peterbilt and Kenworth trucks, the
companies said, integrating Paccar's autonomous vehicle platform
with the Aurora Driver.
