Ike's research shows that automation can create better truck driving jobs
With decades of experience in robotics, the team is confident that it can bring a safe, scalable solution to market. What remains the key challenge is proving that safety aspect, as Simulation Lead Pete Melick explains. “The rates of difficult events that you encounter driving many miles over the highway are very low,” he says. “To prove with statistical confidence that your truck is going to be resilient in any different combination of extreme things that could happen—but don't happen very often to normal trucks—is quite difficult. It would require driving literally tens of millions of miles.” Instead, the team elected to use simulation as their primary validation tool. There are two types of simulation for autonomous driving, each with its pros and cons. By using both methods, Ike is able to get the best of both worlds.
Seeking to demonstrate its commitment to safety, self-driving truck company Ike has released a 90-page safety self-assessment report, providing a detailed description of how the startup programs and operates its autonomous vehicles.
