PlusAI(A startup focusing on driverless cargo vehicles), and Suning, a Chinese e-commerce and logistics giant, tested the newly developed heavy-duty driverless truck in Suning's logistics park and on a Shanghai highway in May,2018.

The test mimicked a fairly typical scenario: A Level 4 autonomous truck, loaded with 40 metric tons of cargo, drove from one warehouse to another.

Equipped with artificial intelligence, deep learning, and light detection and ranging equipment, the driverless truck remained safe at speeds of 80 kilometers per hour on the highway, detecting moving objects 300 meters away.
