    With its first “live” load of freight now hauled and delivered – a trailer full of Budweiser beer transported 120 miles in Colorado for Anheuser-Busch – autonomous vehicle technology developer Otto believes that that the days of self-driving long-haul trucks are “no longer a matter of imagination; they are here now, presenting viable, real-world opportunities that can be fully unlocked in the next few years.” (All photos courtesy of Otto)
