The automaker Scania will collaborate with Finnish firm Ahola Transport who will use Scania trucks and technology to test semi-autonomous convoys comprised of three or four self-driving trucks.
The trucks all have a driver in the cabin, but only the driver in the front cabin will steer while the rest follow automatically.
"It's important for us to improve working conditions for drivers with the help of new technology. This planned solution would also help us to meet customer expectations when it comes to quicker deliveries and environmental goals," Ahola Transport CEO Hans Ahola explained.
Scania pointed out that there must be an acceptance of self-driving cars among the general public before their technology can be launched on a larger scale, and legislation must also be adapted for the development.
