    High-tech demo

    May 1, 2002
    Kenworth's latest high-tech demonstration vehicle, a modified T800 for bulk haulers, was designed with a special emphasis on security and safety. For example, it won't operate properly until a dash-mounted sensor takes a fingerprint reading from the driver, checks it against a Kenworth database, and sends an electronic authorization to the truck's engine controller.
