The US Army’s TARDEC (Tank-Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center) passed the latest round of tests validating the ability of driverless military-truck convoys to operate safely in a variety of environments.Earlier in January this year at Fort Hood, Texas the first series of separate tests in which two driverless Palletized Loading System prime movers and an M915 tractor trailer truck interacted with a manned gun truck escort were completed.
The convoy negotiated oncoming traffic, followed rules of the road, recognized and avoided pedestrians and various obstacles to complete both complex urban and rural line haul missions, according to TARDEC.
