HVS (Hydrogen vehicle systems) are developing a autonomous hydrogen HGV “The firm’s Hub2Hub consortium will create the tractor unit, which will begin vehicles trials in 2024, in partnership with UK retailer Asda.”
“The first hydrogen-electric HGV prototype will be fitted with a driver’s cab and tested on the road in autonomous operation, using the Fusion Processing’s Automated Drive System, CAVStar, with a human safety driver at the wheel. A second prototype will have the driver’s cab removed and replaced by an aerodynamic fairing.” commercialfleet.org/news/tr … -with-asdaSounds like a recipe for disaster - two relatively untested technologies together in the same vehicle, let loose on public roads. The possibilities are endless, especially when prototype 2 comes along.
One thing at a time I would say…
