One small step: Starsky Robotics wraps nearly 10-mile'unmanned'run

摘要

Drivers along the Florida Turnpike near Yeehaw Junction the morning of June 16 were witnesses to history, and most probably didn't even know it. Early that morning - for 9.4 miles - Starsky Robotics became the first company to test a completely unmanned vehicle at highway speed on a public road alongside traffic when a remote driver sitting behind a bank of screens 200 miles away navigated a Volvo VNL, dragging an unloaded trailer, onto the highway from a rest stop before ceding control of the rig to an onboard suite of sensors and software.
