    Bot Auto completes first fully driverless truck real-world road test

    Linear Capital portfolio company Bot Auto announced it has completed its first real-world road test in which the truck truly performed all operations on its own, with no one in the driver's seat, the back seat, or at a remote-control terminal, and no escort vehicle. During the test, the truck on a Texas highway handled scenarios including avoidance, detouring, merging, and responding to the appearance of a fire truck. The vehicle is equipped with 15 cameras, 8 lidars, and 3 millimeter-wave radars, with redundancy in perception, computing, actuation, and power supply; after the primary server is shut down it can switch to a backup server, and if the backup is also shut down, the vehicle control unit takes over to pull over and stop.
