When discussing the convoy of autobots crossing Asia.“It begs the question why. In Australia, you have big trucks with three or four trailers attached in the desert. Why do you need an autonomous vehicle if you can connect them with a piece of steel?” said Andrew Close, an analyst at IHS Automotive.
The answer to his question:
If one can pull four dumb trailers across Australia, then adding digital assist to the trailers allows you to pull 10 or 15 at a time. Digital assist, with electric steering of the trailer greatly increases the number of traalers, and increases the types of roads on which trailer trains can travel.
