A self-driving truck has completed a delivery of goods for a company for the first time. The truck recently transported a full load of Budweiser beer in the western state of Colorado. The vehicle drove without the assistance of a driver for most of the 190-kilometer trip without problems. Otto, a company owned by the ride-sharing business Uber, operated the driverless truck. The truck carried about 50,000 cans of beer from the city of Fort Collins to Colorado Springs. During that time, the vehicle kept an average speed of about 89 kilometers per hour during the two-hour trip, Otto said. The delivery was the world’s first successful shipment by a self-driving truck, according to Otto and Budweiser’s owner, Anheuser-Busch.
