Autonomous Vehicles/Technology: Ricardo building on early successes in platooning

摘要

UK - Ricardo Plc, the Shoreham-by-Sea-based consulting engineering group, says it has achieved both success and valuable experience in truck platooning following its involvement with R&D projects in Europe, Asia and North America. Platooning offers the prospect of heavy duty long-haul truck convoys under connected, autonomous control to the world's highways with the prospect of CO2 emissions reductions and operator fuel savings, while improving traffic flow and road safety.
