Summary
Red Bull collaborated with Scania and PlusAI to use driverless trucks equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) for a stunt. The trucks used advanced technology to move in perfect sync, allowing a professional bike rider, Matt Jones, to jump through a narrow gap between them. The AI technology involved complex simulations and precise sensors for accuracy.
Key Facts
- Red Bull used AI technology with Scania and PlusAI to perform a bike stunt.
- Two driverless trucks moved in precise synchronization for the stunt.
- Professional bike rider Matt Jones jumped through a small gap between the trucks.
- The stunt relied on PlusAI's autonomous driving platform similar to those used in commercial vehicles.
- Thousands of AI simulations helped model possible variables for the stunt.
- Triple redundant sensing technology (camera, radar, lidar) ensured 360-degree awareness.
- The trucks recalculated their positions hundreds of times per second for accuracy.
- The AI technology used is being integrated into next-generation autonomous trucks.
