Autonomous Convoy Trial on Public Road
A new project has become the first to operate a convoy autonomously on an open Australian highway.
The Army, along with the NTRO and Deakin University as partners, has been trialling autonomous leader-follower technology for the past 12 months.
It has previously been trialled on armed forces bases, and on public roads – including a test drive around the Mt Panorama motor racing circuit at Bathurst in October 2022.
