Key facts

Type

Platooning system with an SAE Level 4 follower truck.

How it works (reported, Aug 2020)

One driver pilots a lead truck while the follower runs on Locomation's autonomy so its driver can rest, per The Trucker.

Wilson Logistics pilot (reported, Aug 2020)

Two tractors on a 420-mile I-84 route from Portland, Oregon to Nampa, Idaho; 8 days, about 3,400 miles, about half autonomous, 14 loads.

Pilot crew (reported, Aug 2020)

A trained driver and a safety engineer rode in each truck.

Projected savings (company-claimed)

About 30% lower cost per mile, including 8% less fuel, and 40+ metric tons less CO2 per convoy a year at full commercialization. A projection.
