Swedish commercial vehicle manufacturer Scania has showcased its cabless autonomous truck concept. The Scania AXL has removed the space for a human driver that most autonomous vehicles (AVs) keep as a precaution, demonstrating confidence that the technology will suffice for a heavy-duty transport vehicle running set paths in closed construction sites and mines. While the AXL bucks the usual trend for electric AVs, instead featuring a combustion engine, Scania has stated that it will run on an undisclosed renewable biofuel. The innovative truck will be debuted with a live demo in Sodertalje, Sweden, on October 2.
