Walmart will use fully driverless trucks to make deliveries in 2021
- partingshots 6y agoWho’s in the lead for self-driving right now? I know Uber sold off their division to Aurora recently.
- thegrim33 6y agoPretty standard horrible/biased/misleading headline. They're letting some random new driverless vehicle startup test their software/hardware on one specific route, a specific two mile back road. That's it. They're letting them TEST it. They're not saying that the same software/hardware could be used elsewhere. They're not saying that they have driverless trucks developed. They're not saying anything other then they're letting some random company test things out with one of their truck on a short, barely populated road, in perfect conditions. Yet any random member of the population that reads that headline would assume that Walmart would have driverless trucks in 2021. But that's not the case whatsoever. 2021 will come and go and nothing will have changed.
- hotpockets 6y agoIt doesn't even answer the most elementary question. Who carries the product up to the house?
- ThePadawan 6y agoSeems like they've been trialing it between warehouses only.
