How The Cars Of Logan Grappled With The Very Real Future



The most plausible autonomous truck concept I've seen. We all know the final dolly should have a collapsible boat tail as well.
Fantastic article.

The boat tail would have been nice, but with the ability of autonomous trucks to follow each other very closely, it might be superfluous. Instead, they could use VGs to trim the wake, and those would not interfere with the packing efficiency you can get out of a full herd of autonomous trucks on the highway.
