Bot Auto

Did you catch @gbrulte's newsletter this week? Read all about our historic autonomous run to Dallas and what The Road to Autonomy team really thought about following along every step of the way 👀 roadtoautonomy.com/truckin-autono…

This week @BotAutoAV deployed an autonomous truck with no human in the cab on a 231 mile run from Houston to Dallas. We were there to witness it. @gbrulte and @RobGsix discuss launching fully autonomous commercial trucking operations on Autonomy Signals.

Autonomy Signals: WeRide and Lenovo, Pronto Does a Deal, Bot Auto Goes Driver Out This week on Autonomy Signals, @gbrulte and @RobGsix discuss the @WeRide_AI and @Lenovo autonomous vehicle partnership, @ProntoAI's first deal under Atoms with @MarianaMinerals, and @BotAutoAV's 231 mile driver-out commercial run from Houston to Dallas.

We delivered the first fully-humanless commercial truckload on a public highway in America. Full stop. No in-cab observer. No remote controller. No passenger. Just the truck, the freight, and a load that made us money. A 230-mile journey from Houston to Dallas on Interstate 45, one of the busiest freight corridors in Texas. It took less than three years to get to this point, so how did we do it? 1. A dedicated vision unclouded by distractions or offshoots. We want to move freight for customers who believe in the power of autonomy, so we did. 2. A team that is THE best at what they do. From our engineers to our safety advocates to our leadership, everyone was pointed towards the same goal. 3. Technology that never faltered, never questioned itself, and performed exactly as designed and tested. 4. A partner who trusts us to get the job done. Ryan Transportation booked and paid for this run, we delivered on time for a service lane they have struggled with in the past. So now what? We do it again. And again, and again. We expand our lanes, start running southbound on I-45, book more loads, and deliver more freight. We stay true to our mission of unbeatable service and grow to be THE trusted autonomy provider in Texas, then in America. The autonomy economy is real; it's here right now. We are leading the charge, and we will keep winning.

Last week Dr. Xiaodi Hou hit the Ride AI summit stage with @ThomasWasson. Thomas led a great conversation about the reality of autonomy on Texas roads & how we are leading the charge! Watch the full convo here: youtube.com/watch?v=VQpXlo…

Huge shout out to the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles for the great work they've done implementing the #autonomousvehicleregistration requirements passed during the 89th session of the #TexasLegislature. At 10:00 AM the DMV registration portal went live, and at 10:42 AM, Bot Auto became the first officially approved commercial autonomous vehicle operator in Texas. This one hits different for us. Texas isn't just where we operate, it's home. Our headquarters, our development, our testing, and the families of our team are all here in the Lone Star State. We're committed to making Texas highways safer and contributing to a stronger Texas economy. Proud to be first out of the gate. And just getting started. #TexasProud #HoustonBorn

Another great Forward Fort Worth is in the books.

First Virtual AI, Now Physical AI, Tete Xiao co-authored the Segment Anything paper and now he is building autonomous trucks at @BotAutoAV.

The next generation of innovators is here! Had the best time showing the kids of Robertson Elementary in Katy about our AV tech & getting them up close & personal with the truck!

Thanks @WaltLightShed! We appreciate you coming by and everything you do for the autonomy economy.
