The shift toward driverless systems for industrial vehicles is expected to be slow, but the benefits are huge. These technologies can make transportation safer and more convenient by reducing accidents. These vehicles can also respond to signals from non-vehicular activities such as traffic lights. In addition, many of these vehicles will be...

An autonomous industrial vehicle uses a proprietary algorithm and hardware module that helps the vehicle stay on a predefined path. The truck operates at a lower speed than a passenger vehicle and does not encounter unexpected obstacles. The driver remains behind the wheel and maintains a steady pace while operating the machine. The autonomous...

The first phase of the development of an autonomous industrial vehicle is in the testing phase. To ensure that the vehicle can safely operate on a public roadway, it must meet the same safety standards as a standard passenger vehicle. While most of these vehicles will be powered by electric motors, some may be equipped with hydraulics to improve...
