As the world readies itself for self-driving vehicles on its roadways, one of the biggest concerns on everyone’s mind is safety. After all, sharing the road with autonomous vehicles can be a bit daunting to people who don’t exactly trust computers. And it’s not just passenger cars gearing up for an autonomous future, either; there are plenty of companies launching fleets of self-driving tractor-trailers. That includes startups like Kodiak Robotics.
On Thursday, Kodiak took one more step toward putting minds at ease. The California tech firm claims to have become the first to demonstrate a built-in fallback should equipment fail during an autonomous trip.
