Episode description
Imagine passing a truck on the Interstate at highway speed that doesn’t have a cab for a driver. That is in fact just a flat wall crowned with sensors and cameras. In China, these futuristic yet cheap-looking trucks are part of a fleet of driverless light trucks that can carry 1,000 parcels autonomously over a range of 110 miles. Sound far-fetched? It’s happening in China right now, and some form of it is in America’s immediate future.
