Future Truck 2025 will be able to drive without a driver

Mercedes-Benz has recently demonstrated the concept Traka capable, if necessary, to govern themselves without the help of the driver. Model, called Future Truck 2025, at a certain moment trip will assume the functions of control, giving the driver time to rest or a couple of phone calls.

Self-management will be a combination of radar and stereo cameras that do not allow Trakai leave the track. In addition, smart truck can "talk" to other vehicles to get information about the situation on the roads (repair, plugs, etc.), and if necessary, will be an alternative route traffic.

As stated by one of the company Daimler Wolfgang Bernhard, "Future Truck 2025 - is our response to the key challenges that will be associated with the transportation of goods in the future. We again assume the role of pioneers and open a new era of transportation."

But while Future Truck 2025 is far from reaching the road. For his work will require widespread and well distinguishable special road markings, as well as probably some changes in the legislation. Daimler expects to resolve these issues in the next decade.
