Supplying the autonomous truck: two partners, one turnkey solution

Two of the truck industry's leading component suppliers recently joined forces to create what could prove to be the first complete highly automated driving system for commercial vehicles (CVs). It combines everything from vehicle sensing and path planning to braking, steering and engine management. Partnerships in this field are nothing new. With development efforts demanding hefty financial and manpower investments, pooling resources has become common. For Continental and Knorr-Bremse, it could open the door to a game-changing opportunity.
