The process took hundreds of hours of preparation, sometimes testing 16 hours a day with members of our team and the Colorado State Patrol, as well as our RoadX program, which is a national leader in connected and autonomous vehicle technology.

Our protocol was that the truck had to make this trip eight times with a driver [in the cab] without the driver taking over before we would allow the computer to drive the whole route [with the driver in the sleeper compartment].

Our involvement was multifaceted. We made sure the roadway was swept of debris, and we got our tow trucks involved to make sure there weren’t any abandoned vehicles on the side of the road that would hamper the test. We worked with our road construction contract partners to make sure there weren’t any unexpected road projects going on that would cause weird traffic conditions. The highway patrol had a lot of questions about how they would pull over a truck with no driver in the seat and how we communicate effectively with the autonomous vehicle.
