summary
Starsky Robotics already moves freight on highways using remote control to/from distribution centers and autonomous lane-keeping plus adaptive cruise on the interstate, avoiding urban edge cases. The system uses off-the-shelf sensors (no lidar), physical actuators that push pedals and steer, and teleoperation supervision; fleet plans reach six to eight testing vehicles next month gathering data. Claims: solves a 50,000-driver shortage, handles 20,000–80,000 lb dynamics, and targets safety over slick OEM API hacks rather than unreleased hardware.
