Along with using front and side camera systems and radar, the company also uses drivers that can remotely control trucks from an office.<\/p>\n<p>According to company representatives, they are not anti-truck driver. Instead, they say that they are offering a safer option for long-haul truck drivers. The way their system works is that a driver in an office is able to control the throttle, steering and transmission. That driver is able to tell what the truck is doing and where obstacles may be thanks to the truck&#8217;s cameras and radar.<\/p>\n<div class=\"read_more_link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.garmerprather.com\/blog\/the-future-of-autonomous-trucks-in-kentucky\/\"  title=\"Continue Reading The future of autonomous trucks in Kentucky\" class=\"more-link\">Continue Reading<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While there are a number of self-driving cars being tested, computer-driven semi trucks aren&#8217;t standard yet.
