Could this driverless truck be the future of hauling cargo?

Humble Robotics, a San Francisco-based start-up, has unveiled a driverless, all-electric Class-8 truck platform. The company, founded by Eyal Cohen, filed as a corporation in 2023 and raised $24 million in funding. The prototype truck uses LiDAR, radar, and cameras connected to AI to drive itself and can pull in and out of loading docks unassisted. It has a modular platform that can be adapted to different truck bodies, such as tankers or cement trucks. The truck is expected to be used for short-range hauls, such as in seaports or making local deliveries from rail yards or warehouses. Humble plans to partner with logistics companies to begin testing and launching pilot programs, with a goal of quickly moving into vehicle manufacturing.
