At this September’s IAA Transportation 2024 in Hannover, Germany, Continental and Aurora Innovation will detail more about their co-developed scalable Level 4 autonomous trucking system, which they plan to start scale production of in 2027. The two partners finalized the design of the automotive-grade system back in January 2024.
In addition to recapping development work done to date, Continental will present the new industrial fallback system – a specialized secondary system that can take over operation if a failure occurs in the primary system (for example, if a key component or sensor breaks or fails).
