How does a self-driving truck refill its gas tank without human intervention?
- aggie 7y agoWhy does it need to be without human intervention? A gas station attendant on major trucking routes is a pretty easy solution until some autonomous docking standard is developed.
- cellularmitosis 7y agoBy using a large enough fuel tank to eliminate fueling stops.
- jillesvangurp 7y agoBy not having one and being an electric truck instead. That will help with heavy loads as well because they have awesome torque. Just a matter of time before battery production volume enables mass retirement of Diesel fleets. Short term, there simply aren't enough batteries and plenty more lucrative things that also require batteries (like luxury tank like trucks for people who need to compensate for something). Once that market saturates, trucks are obviously going electric at a massive scale.
