Autonomy – The Era of Vehicles Without Drivers
summary
Companies deploy driverless rigs for last‑mile delivery, terminal tractors at rail ports, campus shuttles and airport ground service equipment, with live ops in Los Angeles, Miami, Santa Monica and New Mexico. Claims: one supervisor manages 2–3 delivery robots and some systems supervise up to 30 vehicles, vehicles default to teleoperation or safe‑stop when uncertain, and federated learning shares edge cases fleet‑wide. Biggest technical hurdles are localization (GPS failure in canyons/indoors) and building redundant sensor fusion and compute so systems actually work in production.
