The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has denied requests from Aurora and Waymo to replace traditional triangular warning devices with cab-mounted beacons for autonomous trucks. This decision stems from concerns that the beacons, located only at the front of the truck, may not be visible enough to drivers approaching from behind. Studies conducted by both companies showed mixed results regarding the visibility and effectiveness of these beacons compared to traditional warning triangles.
Despite the setback, Aurora remains optimistic about its plans to launch commercial vehicles in April. The company has partnered with Continental and Nvidia to enhance its autonomous driving technology, integrating advanced sensors and computing power. Meanwhile, HERE Technologies has secured a significant deal with Amazon Web Services to improve its mapping services, which are crucial for the development of autonomous driving systems.
