No Cab? No Driver? No Problem.

The T Pod can be an alternative to a taxi or uber. This vehicle is fully autonomous, removing the need for a driver, and it is also able to take you to your desired destination. The company is currently working on expanding the number of vehicles it has out, and its goal is to have 200 of these T pods taking heavy loads across the US. This technology can save lots of gas and energy.

Key Takeaways:

• A Swedish automotive startup has unveiled a peek at the future of autonomous trucking– as of right now. On July 4, Einride rolled out its new T Pod concept truck during the Almedalsveckan Week event in Visby, Sweden.
• The T Pod is interesting firstly because it is an all-electric design with an estimated range of 124 miles on one charge, and secondly because it is a fully autonomous design. There is no driver in the T Pod.
• According to reporting from The Verge, Einride is planning to develop a complete autonomous transport network complete with charging stations connecting the Swedish cities of Gothenburg and Helsingborg by 2020.
