Difference between Tesla and all these other things is that you can have confidence that the vehicles they announce will come to market and not just remain a one off concept.
I agree with most of the comments here. Tesla has done it.... is doing it.. with all the infrastructure to support his operations world wide. Everyone else has not even left the drawing board.
As a fleet owner who happen to own Teslas, I appreciate the technology. However, my Tesla vehicles weigh twice the ICE cars, which we cannot afford to have in semis. GVW of 80k lbs is all we get, and cannot lose 30k lbs to tractor alone.

I am at the end and still waiting for you to show me even one that comes close to Tesla, much less is ahead. And as for those claiming full self driving, where are they going to get their data from? Tesla has over a billion miles of data and it's growing rapidly. I doubt any of the others will have a system ready if they had a decade to do so.
They look great but..range and reliability. Truckers can do 700 to 900 miles a day and trucks last million miles. 300 miles a day with a recharge time of 8 to 12 hours. Time is money in the shipping industry. They need to overcome this aswell as cost to complete in the market
That is not the number on the Tesla, they can go 500 miles at least and they have fast charging being increased as we speak. They will be doing the shorter trips initially. The longer trips will be dealt with as the battery tech gets to the 700 to 900 mile range.
Tesla has 500 miles of range with a recharge time of less than one hour. Of course it's not suitable for all cases but for a lot, especially if you consider all the money saving with fuel and maintenance.
@@Steppenkater I strongly suggest being an over the road driver for a couple years before making a statement as you have. You have absolutely no idea of what you are talking about.
Oil is going to dry up or cost so much to extract from the ground that it will destroy the worlds economies. It is not renewable. 10 years from now more EV's will be made then Gas cars, mark my word, kids!!!!
The future has been held up for quite some time. Reasonable estimate (between, Top 0.1%, Royalty, Religion, Politicians, Microsoft, Energy Industries, etc) places us appx 1000 years behind. So any catch up we can do would be nice.
Actually, I am ahead of Tesla. I've a an automotive business named V-Motors. My truck can drive anywhere on the planet and can carry almost twice the payload of any competitive truck, electric or otherwise. My truck runs on Distilled H2O and is almost 7x times cheaper in cost and 9x cheaper in operations. But yeah, it's a concept.
I think that the best one truck is the one with the remote control because it will use anyway an actual driver (so people will not lose their works because of self-driving trucks) and the driver will be safe in case of a crash
you cant say some other company is a head of tesla. Elon isnt trying to actually focus only on profit, but on changing the world from petroleum cars to fully electric.
These company need to design for mother nature elements so the truck stops at a truck stop and wait until the weather clears up or cargo will be every where
No truck in the USA can tow 80k lbs of payload as the total weight of the truck with the payload is limited to 80k lbs. The usable load is ergo smaller, closer to 70k lbs. Just a correction.
I imagine in the future the trailers will house the main batteries and a truck can go further while avoiding long charge times since the trailers can be charged while loading and unloading
@@derekzblewski123 That would be Bull. Tesla is trying to make the roads more safe for us all. There are 500,000 truck accident every year in the US. Have you every been hit by a semi? If you think they are trying to go after human jobs, you have no idea at all about the focus for safe cars and safe autonomous driving. A Tesla on Auto Pilot is 10 times as safe as all the vehicles. This is the point.
As a driver, they all fail ! There is no wind splitters/diverters. This "wall" design causes a lot of problems, that are difficult to deal with ! ********** Given that much frontal area against the air flow, you might as well have a huge parachute ! The greatest advancement between 1980 & 1995, was the deflection hood/bunk on top of cab. Suddenly: you could drive 30% further at faster speeds, with less fuel. The driver also has better handling control. Plus, you have a sleeping bunk (double bed ?)
Electric Trucks like the Tesla could have completely automated routes, running in circuits. You turn your truck on with pre-programmed routes assisted by the onboard radar systems. Warehouses would be positioned close to highway entrances and exits, with a quick swap battery terminal either on the property or near by. It pulls up to the loading bay, attaches, and drives itself to the other warehouse, where it docks. After unload, if it does not have enough juice, it can hot swap in 5 minutes with a pre charged battery terminal and then be on it's way again. The right lane on the highway (or maybe left lane with left lane exits for safety reasons) would be dedicated for automated trucks. This streamlines the entire trucking industry. Essentially infinitely scalable at a fraction of current trucking costs, all while being able to run almost 24/7 other than inspections. Want to get ahead in life? Buy a super fuel efficient freightliner and learn the industry over the next 3 years. When tesla releases their "convoy" system, sell your truck and buy 3 Tesla's, find easy and efficient routes, undercut your opponents, and build a local empire.
A driverless cop car comes and spits out a ticket to you. Then a driverless tow-truck or two come out and get your car and the truck while leaving you standing there waiting for your driverless Tesla Taxi to pick you up and bring you to the Tesla store to buy a new one. What else did you think could possibly happen? 8-)
Consumers have grown weary of concepts and ready for tangible products. Level 5 autonomy for any of these are miles away from any actual roads. Dyson cancelled his concept car roll out because concepts can be extremely hard to mass produce.. same with these cool trucks I presume.
Only a couple of them can carry trailers, which is Tesla competition, so still they would only have like 3 companies to worry about if they somehow get production up without bankrupting or being bought out
I wonder if Tesla's electric motor could be applied to Boeing aircraft landing gear. Using it to taxi from terminal to runway; unaided by the jet engines. Saving a tremendous amount of fuel. Just saying.
mini cooper towing aircraft: ua-cam.com/video/M3lqqID-5Ac/v-deo.html I looked up what electric car I could afford right now if I was in market for electric (model 3 is out of my price range). Electric mini cooper does not have the range of model 3 but i only need it for around town errands. Starts at $30K before federal tax credits: ua-cam.com/video/M3lqqID-5Ac/v-deo.html
Soon after take off, the motor and the batteries will become dead weight and engines will burn fuel for that. Factor in the additional maintenance (preventive and otherwise) it may not save as much. If it can be designed to disengage once on the runway before takeoff (like a tug that goes the extra mile to take it to the runway ), it maylead to some savings. Still it will add additional delays when taxiing back in to the terminal because of the aircraft having to wait on the runway for the tractor to arrive. Can also pause a significant risk to the other aircraft taking off and landing. Doesn't look like a practical solution at this time, may be in the future.......
So if you covered the trailer with a massive solar array, could you charge the truck from the trailer? I think TV he telsa semi has huge potential in the rv market.
Comparing concept trucks to tesla's near to market release / mass produceable truck with a far superior price to performance ratio while at the same time having superior battery technology(what really counts) and being the only company to actually have the production facilities. Mass producing something is far more difficult than designing it and building a prototype.
That Volvo lot vehicle looks like the only that's going to be more likely and the most useful Any of these others don't look like they'd make past the drafting stages
Well, automonmus vehicles have been utilized in industry for years. From the smallest level - to actual haulers. So the concept isn't new. But the Vera units will make larger areas like ports look like an Amazon FC right now. And that's big. In the end, get your kids into IT if they want a job in the future. Also, it's SHEE-ron. ;)
You didn't talk about how these trucks will drive themselves! There are two systems that can do this, FLIR, (forward looking infrared) a system currently used by many slow moving Mega Yachts. Not great for the road. The second one is with cameras, which Tesla is developing. To date Tesla has close to 6 billion miles of travelled data that they get continuously from all the Tesla cars out there, identifying every curve, stopsign, traffic signals, lane markings and a host more information. The other guys haven't even started. I initially ordered a Rivian, ($1000 dep) but they seem to get nothing done but delay after delay. I then placed an order for a Tesla Model Y, a $2000 deposit thank you. I also placed an order for a Cybertruck, sure $100 dep there. I just recently placed an order for a Tesla Semi truck as well, yikes, $20,000 deposit for that one. Do I need a Semi truck? Hell no, but I will have one of the very first ones and plan on using it as my retirement income. So, it does seem as though the world is going to switch to Electric trucks as well as cars, and Tesla is leaps and bounds ahead of the competition.
actually EV doesn't need a grill at all. the grill only does one thing keep an engine cool. electric we are talking motors and easy to keep cool without WATER.
People at this point in time just don't realize how dangerous could fully autonomous vehicles be with no one to blame, no number plates, no lawsuits, and the list goes on... Let the fully autonomous hit the roads and see the results. Several would also lose jobs and the big corporate firms that would own fully autonomous will fail as a result; no thriving market or economy to support the services. The economic balance is very important.
People also lost jobs because of a shovel , cartwheel or excavators. Also self service lifts removed the need for lift operators. If you think its bad that people replace some labour with automation, then you should also be against all those things I mentioned. As always, market will find a way to utilize those people in a new, morę productive way.
@@yakuza_toast8033 hahahahha, you are so funny. Automation in autos makes so little sense as a small group of people engineers them. Such products don't know when to change lanes, what should be the acceleration etc. and just few brake modes? Come on. lol. See videos on youtube esp Tesla's car's recent June 2020 accident with a truck, which was on autopilot. You will have an idea.
Great THUMBS UP Video.. Learned Plenty. Wonder How Many of these companies still in operation and putting vehicles on the road Improving Our Air Quality. Updated Video. ??
Imagine how scary it is when you drive your tiny car on the highway and suddenly on the rearview mirror... one of these driverless trucks starts tailgating you..
Thats the point, when it is AI and not some idiot driving it from his apartment, that is not going to happen. That's what human truck drivers do everyday on the freeways. Not all of them, but I see it all the time.
Lol just tesla? Pretty small thinking only reason they lead in electricity is cause thats all they need focus on. If other brands did they wouldn't be leading.
I'm sorry but just Tesla is very small minded with Tesla pushing for self driving eltric trucks and it becoming popular will push other truck manufacturers to build they own to keep up or they will be left behind we are in a time were people want zero CEO2 emitted vehicles so eltric vehicles are in demand people are pushing for other brands besides Tesla to make eltric vehicles that's why you are seeing other truck and cars manufacturers coming up with different eltric trucks and car concepts to keep up with Tesla and the growing trend so just Tesla is very small. Thinking.
DARELL Its the other car companies faults. They didn’t even think about starting to make electric cars at all until Tesla. But Tesla has been developing their tech for years now and they have their factories already established to make electric vehicles while other car companies need to make their own factories and their specs aren’t close to Teslas
I don’t want fully autonomous no driver trucks or lorries, not just because it would cause most of the trucking industry to become redundant excluding hgv mechanics but because it would be a bit more dangerous for other road users, sure a computer has quicker reaction speeds than a human but would a computer be able to detect if it has hit someone’s car or if it’s dragging a smaller car at the front. I would be concerned if there wasn’t a driver present to stop the truck if need be. Plus if an autonomous non driver truck hits your car who would give insurance details and what if it just drives away, who would get charged with a hit and run?
New technologies always displaces existing workforce but creates new opportunities. The government should research on those opportunities and try to bring it to the masses so that the transition would be smooth and controlled instead of chaos that usually follow such technologies becoming main stream.
I never could figure out why they never go ahead and actually put in production these concept vehicles everyone gets excited about - The only concept vehicle I know of that went into production was The Roadster
@Eddy Vanderhellen The Stone Age didn't end because we ran out of stones. EVs are so much better than combustion cars that eventually nobody will want one (except antique collectors).
Electric? No one wants this shit except tree huggers, hippies and unemployed millennials who live in their moms basement and none of them have money or jobs.
How do they prevent self-driving trucks from having their cargo taken or their destination hacked? And what happens when it has a failure or flat tire? Does it pull off the road or just stop? What about a railroad crossing or bridge being open or washed away?
For the independent hauler with their own trailer, I would think utilizing the space under the trailer for batteries could be advantageous by lightening the cab, extending the range when hauling, and dispersing the overall weight. Also, a 53' trailer provides 424 sqft of roof that if covered by the currently best flexible solar panels would generate over 4 kilowatts. Obviously that's not enough to provide all the juice needed to haul a load but ask any trucker with a reefer unit how much they spend on fuel and maintenance to keep their trailer cold then add the cost of fuel used while sleeping on the road and you'll find that extra bit of solar energy would more than eliminate those operating costs. I would think even diesel drivers would welcome solar covered reefer trailers with a decent lithium battery pack tucked under the trailer. To all you entrepreneurs out there, spend a hot sunny afternoon at a truck yard full of reefer units and you'll see a solar opportunity!
So two of these come from a country with ten million people - sweden. (No 1&2) will this make us the most self driven country per capita? :) Many of these are only on the design stage. The first two has been driving on public roads at least.
I think the feels truck is better in my opinion because all the others are just concepts and some of those companies will continue building diesel trucks. The Tesla truck is also closer to being autonomous than you might think.
This reminds me of the crazy concept car books I used to get in public school libraries in the early 70’s. The No-Cab Driverless trucks will NEVER HAPPEN unless the entire route is controlled like a train track! The day I see that going down the road I’ll eat a bullet! Trucks have to do so many complicated unknown maneuvers that a 100% autonomous truck will never happen! There has to be a way for a human to take charge in special circumstances and a stupid remote control isn’t going to cut it. You have to feel the vehicle to make it work! Tesla was the only truck in the vid that was feasible.
I love how the legacy automaker concepts are sure to include the word 'OIL' on their cargo containers, as if to reassure their sponsors not to worry about oil being sidelined as a transportation fuel. The other side of the coin is having solar on every roof and on-site storage cells to stash it so that houses need the grid less and less, or even become net providers to the grid to make peaker plants largely redundant.
When doing a video like this its important to know what your talking about. You must pronounce the names correctly. Let's focus on the Bugatti truck. You mispronounced 2 Bugatti car names and suggested the W16 would work in a truck with 1000 torque. You should had known the slowest most useless trucks on the road have 1625 torque and most have 1875 to over 2000 . The Bugatti W16 would explode the bottom end on first trip.
This is exactly what E.Musk was hoping for. Competition is good for everyone. What do all those different trucks expect to supply the battery cells? I'm guessing it won't be RAYOVAC.
As a truck driver of many years, I used to one day envision a self driving semi and cars , and here it is . Can you imagine if I had put a patient on this is idea 💡 actually I sent myself a dated , self certified letter detailing this technology ideas, it was a description of a self driving semi, using radar lidar , and it was a description of a self driving semi . How can I send the sealed envelope that is and was sent certified letter to myself unopened, to a patient attorney. I really want to collect my money.

These company need to design for mother nature elements so the truck stops at a truck stop and wait until the weather clears up or cargo will be every where
No truck in the USA can tow 80k lbs of payload as the total weight of the truck with the payload is limited to 80k lbs. The usable load is ergo smaller, closer to 70k lbs. Just a correction.
I imagine in the future the trailers will house the main batteries and a truck can go further while avoiding long charge times since the trailers can be charged while loading and unloading
One thing i love about tesla is that they are not going after human jobs, just making their jobs safer
Boll fucking shit
@@derekzblewski123 That would be Bull. Tesla is trying to make the roads more safe for us all. There are 500,000 truck accident every year in the US. Have you every been hit by a semi? If you think they are trying to go after human jobs, you have no idea at all about the focus for safe cars and safe autonomous driving. A Tesla on Auto Pilot is 10 times as safe as all the vehicles. This is the point.
As a driver, they all fail !
There is no wind splitters/diverters.
This "wall" design causes a lot of problems,
that are difficult to deal with !
**********
Given that much frontal area against the air flow,
you might as well have a huge parachute !
The greatest advancement between 1980 & 1995,
was the deflection hood/bunk on top of cab.
Suddenly: you could drive 30% further at faster speeds,
with less fuel.
The driver also has better handling control.
Plus, you have a sleeping bunk (double bed ?)
In a hundred years every vehicle is now electric. Even so military vehicles.
Electric Trucks like the Tesla could have completely automated routes, running in circuits. You turn your truck on with pre-programmed routes assisted by the onboard radar systems. Warehouses would be positioned close to highway entrances and exits, with a quick swap battery terminal either on the property or near by. It pulls up to the loading bay, attaches, and drives itself to the other warehouse, where it docks. After unload, if it does not have enough juice, it can hot swap in 5 minutes with a pre charged battery terminal and then be on it's way again. The right lane on the highway (or maybe left lane with left lane exits for safety reasons) would be dedicated for automated trucks. This streamlines the entire trucking industry. Essentially infinitely scalable at a fraction of current trucking costs, all while being able to run almost 24/7 other than inspections.
Want to get ahead in life? Buy a super fuel efficient freightliner and learn the industry over the next 3 years. When tesla releases their "convoy" system, sell your truck and buy 3 Tesla's, find easy and efficient routes, undercut your opponents, and build a local empire.
So if some of these are driverless, what happens if you accidentally crash into one?
A driverless cop car comes and spits out a ticket to you. Then a driverless tow-truck or two come out and get your car and the truck while leaving you standing there waiting for your driverless Tesla Taxi to pick you up and bring you to the Tesla store to buy a new one. What else did you think could possibly happen? 8-)
@@BradMosch_engineer ...and your insurance goes up! : - )
If it was a Tesla and fully unlocked it could see you coming then steer accelerate or brake to avoid or limit the impact.
These are two different things with all due respect, one company focuses on self driven cars and the other focuses on cars to be operated by a driver.
Consumers have grown weary of concepts and ready for tangible products. Level 5 autonomy for any of these are miles away from any actual roads. Dyson cancelled his concept car roll out because concepts can be extremely hard to mass produce.. same with these cool trucks I presume.
3:40 Aerodynamic he said. Like having a big wall I'm the front doesn't produce a bunch of drag
It looks like a phone
Tom Potman it really does
As cool as these trucks sound every time I got on the interstate I see the same normal ass 18 wheeler with a Diesel engine
Only a couple of them can carry trailers, which is Tesla competition, so still they would only have like 3 companies to worry about if they somehow get production up without bankrupting or being bought out
I really didn't expect to see a Kamaz in this
Correction: Thor ET-One can only weigh 80,000 lbs total, including cargo, to meet USDOT Max Gross Wgt standards.
Tesla has the most experience in dealing with electric vehicles and they have a super charging network top that and auto pilot
Soon Tesla will reveal there new battery technology! They will become stronger
@@Repz98 Indeed they will.
My favourite ?
All the Tractor Units that had 'Ground Clearance'.
What happened to you showing the Nikola ?
Will do;)
Difference is, the Tesla semi is not a concept. It is a working truck on the roads.
I wonder if Tesla's electric motor could be applied to Boeing aircraft landing gear. Using it to taxi from terminal to runway; unaided by the jet engines. Saving a tremendous amount of fuel. Just saying.
That’s a great idea sincerely
@@bluecollarnobody4217 "Thank You" Mr. Sitaras.
mini cooper towing aircraft: ua-cam.com/video/M3lqqID-5Ac/v-deo.html
I looked up what electric car I could afford right now if I was in market for electric (model 3 is out of my price range). Electric mini cooper does not have the range of model 3 but i only need it for around town errands. Starts at $30K before federal tax credits: ua-cam.com/video/M3lqqID-5Ac/v-deo.html
Good idea!
Soon after take off, the motor and the batteries will become dead weight and engines will burn fuel for that. Factor in the additional maintenance (preventive and otherwise) it may not save as much. If it can be designed to disengage once on the runway before takeoff (like a tug that goes the extra mile to take it to the runway ), it maylead to some savings. Still it will add additional delays when taxiing back in to the terminal because of the aircraft having to wait on the runway for the tractor to arrive. Can also pause a significant risk to the other aircraft taking off and landing. Doesn't look like a practical solution at this time, may be in the future.......
So if you covered the trailer with a massive solar array, could you charge the truck from the trailer? I think TV he telsa semi has huge potential in the rv market.
Comparing concept trucks to tesla's near to market release / mass produceable truck with a far superior price to performance ratio while at the same time having superior battery technology(what really counts) and being the only company to actually have the production facilities.
Mass producing something is far more difficult than designing it and building a prototype.
Self-driving vehicles you can count on and do on your phone and relax maybe even save more lives
When trucks begin to look like oversized mobile phones and tablets :-)

2060: introducing electric drag racing for trucks
That Volvo lot vehicle looks like the only that's going to be more likely and the most useful
Any of these others don't look like they'd make past the drafting stages
"actually capable of doing what it was created for" sums up the entire vid, tx for the title
Well, automonmus vehicles have been utilized in industry for years. From the smallest level - to actual haulers. So the concept isn't new. But the Vera units will make larger areas like ports look like an Amazon FC right now. And that's big. In the end, get your kids into IT if they want a job in the future. Also, it's SHEE-ron. ;)
Nope, it's pronounced chiron not sheer on.
@@heaven4012 Sorry. Nope.
You didn't talk about how these trucks will drive themselves! There are two systems that can do this, FLIR, (forward looking infrared) a system currently used by many slow moving Mega Yachts. Not great for the road. The second one is with cameras, which Tesla is developing. To date Tesla has close to 6 billion miles of travelled data that they get continuously from all the Tesla cars out there, identifying every curve, stopsign, traffic signals, lane markings and a host more information.
The other guys haven't even started. I initially ordered a Rivian, ($1000 dep) but they seem to get nothing done but delay after delay. I then placed an order for a Tesla Model Y, a $2000 deposit thank you. I also placed an order for a Cybertruck, sure $100 dep there. I just recently placed an order for a Tesla Semi truck as well, yikes, $20,000 deposit for that one. Do I need a Semi truck? Hell no, but I will have one of the very first ones and plan on using it as my retirement income. So, it does seem as though the world is going to switch to Electric trucks as well as cars, and Tesla is leaps and bounds ahead of the competition.
With vehicles of this size these trucks FOR NOW should still have a driver cabin for manual takeover in case of system failure
I like how the title says this truck is ahead of Tesla when it’s a Tesla truck
A 16,000 pound truck that can be driven remotely of 4g.... lemme get plowed by the truck real quick cause their company hit their data cap lmao
Or got hacked or just signal jammed intentionally or not.
Why does the Thor ET1 have a ginormous grill? EV trucks don't need that, they need maybe 1/4 of that. Not very "aero"!
actually EV doesn't need a grill at all. the grill only does one thing keep an engine cool. electric we are talking motors and easy to keep cool without WATER.
6:17 The Front End Looks Like a Magnet
The more competition, the better for us all.
Awesome.
People at this point in time just don't realize how dangerous could fully autonomous vehicles be with no one to blame, no number plates, no lawsuits, and the list goes on... Let the fully autonomous hit the roads and see the results. Several would also lose jobs and the big corporate firms that would own fully autonomous will fail as a result; no thriving market or economy to support the services. The economic balance is very important.
People also lost jobs because of a shovel , cartwheel or excavators. Also self service lifts removed the need for lift operators. If you think its bad that people replace some labour with automation, then you should also be against all those things I mentioned. As always, market will find a way to utilize those people in a new, morę productive way.
If all vehicles on the road are automated, they would probably communicate better than humans
@@yakuza_toast8033 hahahahha, you are so funny. Automation in autos makes so little sense as a small group of people engineers them. Such products don't know when to change lanes, what should be the acceleration etc. and just few brake modes? Come on. lol. See videos on youtube esp Tesla's car's recent June 2020 accident with a truck, which was on autopilot. You will have an idea.
6:28 it’s Chiron not ciron
2:15 that log vehicle is the best candidate for taking up tesla's autopilot ai feature in the future.
Great THUMBS UP Video.. Learned Plenty. Wonder How Many of these companies still in operation and putting vehicles on the road Improving Our Air Quality. Updated Video. ??
Imagine how scary it is when you drive your tiny car on the highway and suddenly on the rearview mirror... one of these driverless trucks starts tailgating you..
Thats the point, when it is AI and not some idiot driving it from his apartment, that is not going to happen. That's what human truck drivers do everyday on the freeways. Not all of them, but I see it all the time.
I like the Mercedes one, but I think the only one that'll we'll see within the next 50 years is the tesla.
Lol just tesla? Pretty small thinking only reason they lead in electricity is cause thats all they need focus on. If other brands did they wouldn't be leading.
I'm sorry but just Tesla is very small minded with Tesla pushing for self driving eltric trucks and it becoming popular will push other truck manufacturers to build they own to keep up or they will be left behind we are in a time were people want zero CEO2 emitted vehicles so eltric vehicles are in demand people are pushing for other brands besides Tesla to make eltric vehicles that's why you are seeing other truck and cars manufacturers coming up with different eltric trucks and car concepts to keep up with Tesla and the growing trend so just Tesla is very small. Thinking.
Allistan Cooper wait, Tesla is small-minded for starting a trend and making electric vehicles commercially available a reality?
DARELL Its the other car companies faults. They didn’t even think about starting to make electric cars at all until Tesla. But Tesla has been developing their tech for years now and they have their factories already established to make electric vehicles while other car companies need to make their own factories and their specs aren’t close to Teslas
China : hold my beer
Man!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That Bugatti Hyper Truck have blown my mind 🤯🤯🤯
I don’t want fully autonomous no driver trucks or lorries, not just because it would cause most of the trucking industry to become redundant excluding hgv mechanics but because it would be a bit more dangerous for other road users, sure a computer has quicker reaction speeds than a human but would a computer be able to detect if it has hit someone’s car or if it’s dragging a smaller car at the front. I would be concerned if there wasn’t a driver present to stop the truck if need be. Plus if an autonomous non driver truck hits your car who would give insurance details and what if it just drives away, who would get charged with a hit and run?
I like the Bugatti and Audi truck very futuristic..
Bugatti truck looks like a fleshlight.
@@TheBrochen - 😂
Always designs like that
New technologies always displaces existing workforce but creates new opportunities.
The government should research on those opportunities and try to bring it to the masses so that the transition would be smooth and controlled instead of chaos that usually follow such technologies becoming main stream.
Tile :this truck is ahead of tesla
Tesla semi : wait WhT
I never could figure out why they never go ahead and actually put in production these concept vehicles everyone gets excited about - The only concept vehicle I know of that went into production was The Roadster
When are they going to implement inductive charging ? 50 mile stretches of road that charge as they go.
The more electric vehicles on the road instead of combustion, the better
@Eddy Vanderhellen The Stone Age didn't end because we ran out of stones. EVs are so much better than combustion cars that eventually nobody will want one (except antique collectors).
Meanwhile you pollute the world with lithium and other heavy metals. Real smart. Eva take a lot of pollution to make, including oil.
Electric? No one wants this shit except tree huggers, hippies and unemployed millennials who live in their moms basement and none of them have money or jobs.
@Eddy Vanderhellen lithium is an element that bonds with salt. That aside, go check out lithium mines.
Eddy Vanderhellen lithium has many valuable uses. Crazy people have been treated with lithium and it sometimes makes them less crazy.
How do they prevent self-driving trucks from having their cargo taken or their destination hacked? And what happens when it has a failure or flat tire? Does it pull off the road or just stop? What about a railroad crossing or bridge being open or washed away?
Clever questions!
For the independent hauler with their own trailer, I would think utilizing the space under the trailer for batteries could be advantageous by lightening the cab, extending the range when hauling, and dispersing the overall weight. Also, a 53' trailer provides 424 sqft of roof that if covered by the currently best flexible solar panels would generate over 4 kilowatts. Obviously that's not enough to provide all the juice needed to haul a load but ask any trucker with a reefer unit how much they spend on fuel and maintenance to keep their trailer cold then add the cost of fuel used while sleeping on the road and you'll find that extra bit of solar energy would more than eliminate those operating costs. I would think even diesel drivers would welcome solar covered reefer trailers with a decent lithium battery pack tucked under the trailer. To all you entrepreneurs out there, spend a hot sunny afternoon at a truck yard full of reefer units and you'll see a solar opportunity!
they promise, they deliver and beat expectaions, There is just no other company like TESLA period.
agree
And they late but they still real
Tesla RV with autonomous driving for summer family vacation would be awesome
My dream job was always to be a trucker in 2025 and sit back watching Netflix all day while getting paid. Sucks that they went driverless.
Bugatti never disappoints me with a good looking car
So two of these come from a country with ten million people - sweden. (No 1&2) will this make us the most self driven country per capita? :)
Many of these are only on the design stage. The first two has been driving on public roads at least.
Everytime he said kyron,not chiron.funny!
I think the feels truck is better in my opinion because all the others are just concepts and some of those companies will continue building diesel trucks. The Tesla truck is also closer to being autonomous than you might think.
This reminds me of the crazy concept car books I used to get in public school libraries in the early 70’s. The No-Cab Driverless trucks will NEVER HAPPEN unless the entire route is controlled like a train track! The day I see that going down the road I’ll eat a bullet!
Trucks have to do so many complicated unknown maneuvers that a 100% autonomous truck will never happen! There has to be a way for a human to take charge in special circumstances and a stupid remote control isn’t going to cut it. You have to feel the vehicle to make it work!
Tesla was the only truck in the vid that was feasible.
Until there's a "buy it now" button, it didn't happen ............
Tesla is 7 + years ahead of everyone. E V E R Y O N E.
a good reason for global vaccination so that these unmanned vehicles can detect humans :)
Volvo self driving semi look like a giant version of the robot vacuum.
I love how the legacy automaker concepts are sure to include the word 'OIL' on their cargo containers, as if to reassure their sponsors not to worry about oil being sidelined as a transportation fuel.
The other side of the coin is having solar on every roof and on-site storage cells to stash it so that houses need the grid less and less, or even become net providers to the grid to make peaker plants largely redundant.
When doing a video like this its important to know what your talking about. You must pronounce the names correctly. Let's focus on the Bugatti truck. You mispronounced 2 Bugatti car names and suggested the W16 would work in a truck with 1000 torque. You should had known the slowest most useless trucks on the road have 1625 torque and most have 1875 to over 2000 . The Bugatti W16 would explode the bottom end on first trip.
But u get what he's trying to say right?.. Your complaint is besides the wholeee point of the video..
@@renzo4295 then you didn't read my comment about torque
This is exactly what E.Musk was hoping for. Competition is good for everyone. What do
all those different trucks expect to supply the battery cells? I'm guessing it won't be RAYOVAC.
As a truck driver of many years, I used to one day envision a self driving semi and cars , and here it is . Can you imagine if I had put a patient on this is idea 💡 actually I sent myself a dated , self certified letter detailing this technology ideas, it was a description of a self driving semi, using radar lidar , and it was a description of a self driving semi . How can I send the sealed envelope that is and was sent certified letter to myself unopened, to a patient attorney. I really want to collect my money.
With different semi body styles, what about the ones that fits in cargo ships with contouring shapes.
