PlusAI,
Inc., a leading global self-driving company focused on enabling large-scale
autonomous commercial trucking fleets, showcased its full-stack L4 autonomous
truck technology at CES 2019. PlusAI also demonstrated the technology with an
International LT Series tractor on a nearby Las Vegas truck route during the
show.
The
International LT Series, equipped with PlusAI’s L4 autonomous driving
technology, can automatically navigate major routes from hub to hub. PlusAI’s
precision positioning and control system integrates deep learning visual
algorithms, using advanced lane detection, lidar (laser detection and
measurement), SLAM (instant positioning and map building) and other technology
solutions.
Founded
in 2016 in Silicon Valley, PlusAI was one of the first companies to obtain an
autonomous driving test license from the California Department of Motor
Vehicles (DMV) in early 2017. For the past two years, PlusAI has built its
market leadership in self-driving technology to power autonomous commercial
trucking fleets for its OEM partners and prospects.
“Thanks
to the convergence of machine learning and artificial intelligence, big data,
mobility, and advanced sensors, the autonomous revolution is on the horizon.
Autonomous trucks are one of the best applications for autonomous driving in
the near term, and this application is close to becoming a reality,” said Dr.
David Liu, founder and CEO of PlusAI, adding that, “Through our strong
strategic partnerships with large truck OEMs and transportation providers
globally, PlusAI is leading the market by changing the future of the logistics
and transportation industry.”
Applying
autonomous driving technology to trucking will generate a multi-trillion-dollar
economic impact, significant enough to reshape the transportation industry and
its ecosystems. PlusAI is committed to making commercial freight transportation
safer, more efficient and less expensive for its customers.
With
its corporate headquarters in Cupertino and R&D centers in both Silicon
Valley and China, PlusAI consists of world-class engineers that are equipped
with a strong strategic vision, as well as rich experiences in technology
innovation and commercialisation. PlusAI was founded in 2016 in Silicon Valley
by David Liu and Hao Zheng, who were classmates at Stanford twenty years ago.
