Budweiser makes first driverless shipment using Uber's Otto

In a monumental leap forward in autonomous trucking, on October 20 Anheuser-Busch successfully completed the worlds first driverless shipment trucking palettes of beer from Fort Collins to Colorado Springs, Colorado with a distance exceeding 120 miles. Uber's autonomous trucking division, Otto, completed the journey with its specially equipped truck. A driver remained in the cabin, but out of the driver seat for the entire trip.

Anheuser-Busch states that it ships over 1.2 million truckloads annually and is always looking for innovation, and that Otto is the next step forward.

We hope you enjoy this insightful video about the journey and driverless technology.
