Starsky completes unmanned Florida Turnpike test
Starsky Robotics completed a 9.4-mile unmanned heavy-truck test on the Florida Turnpike.
Evidence notes
- The truck navigated a rest area, merged onto the highway, changed lanes and passed through a toll booth.
- No person was inside the vehicle during the 55-mile-per-hour public-highway test.
- A remote driver supervised the vehicle from approximately 140 miles away.
Company context
Starsky Robotics developed autonomous long-haul trucks supported by remote human supervision for difficult road segments. The San Francisco company ceased operations in 2020 after building and testing its driverless freight system.
