operate safely at high speeds. computers, cameras and lidar sensors are a familiar sight on self driving vehicles, but autonomous technologies actually solve one of the biggest barriers to electric adoption charging. two battery packs that we see here are 60 kilowatts each. oh, wow! with battery, you have less range and you have to plan when to do charging, and that s tough when you still have a driver in the equation. but if you have autonomous, you can actually re route and reuse autonomous to solve that. if this idea sounds familiar, that might be because tesla s elon musk promised us the autonomous electric semi way back in 2017. i hope you like what you see. volvo also confirmed that vera, a cabless electric project it teased in 2016, 2018, remains parked up for now. eilride pod is much smaller.
