Just last week, Daimler demonstrated a long-haul commercial truck that operates without driver input via a function the OEM calls “Highway Pilot.” Known as the Mercedes-Benz Future Truck 2025, the vehicle autonomously maneuvered around obstacles, such as slow-moving traffic and a broken-down vehicle, on a stretch of autobahn near Magdeburg, Germany, while the driver focused on other matters.
