Swedish autonomous truck startup Einride plans to expand its range of podlike self-driving trucks and launch a pilot program in the U.S. with tire manufacturer Bridgestone. Einride is already testing its first-generation pod to haul goods autonomously between two warehouses for Swedish logistics provider DB Schenker. Einride now plans to develop a series of so-called Autonomous Electric Transport vehicles, ranging from AET 1 to AET 4. Each will be designed for a specific type of freight use. They all can haul about 16 tons but at different speeds and over various distances. For example, the AET 1 is a slow-speed vehicle designed for port and distribution center operations.
