🚚 Automated truck platoons hit the road between Ohio and Indiana. EASE Logistics has deployed two tractor-trailers with platooning technology on Interstate 70, allowing the lead truck to control the second vehicle's movements. This collaboration between state transportation departments aims to test automated driving systems in Midwest weather conditions, with safety as the primary goal. Professional drivers remain in both vehicles throughout the journey, able to override the system if needed. The $8.8 million multi-year project, partially funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation, represents a significant step toward integrating automation into daily freight operations.
