Automated semi trucks could soon be traveling on I-70 between Indianapolis, Indiana, and Columbus, Ohio, thanks to an initiative by DriveOhio and each state’s Department of Transportation.
DriveOhio has announced a four-year-long, $8 million dollar plan to bring automated semi trucks to Ohio roads, according to aThe automated semis will reportedly begin on a 166-mile stretch of I-70 between Indianapolis and Columbus, which has been dubbed the “Automation Corridor.”
“A front truck will control what the follow truck’s movements are, so the front truck will control acceleration and braking, and the follow truck will automatically respond. So, when that technology is engaged, they will be following each other pretty closely,” Badanes added. The semi trucks involved in this project will have a driver inside the vehicle, and will be tested on a closed track before being sent out into the open. There will also be safeguards in place so that the driver can take over and stop the automation in case anything goes wrong.
