Self-driving cars are the future and seemingly every tech company on the planet is hungry to get in on the action. But navigating the world's complex urban and suburban environments will be a challenge for these machines and innovation will come in fits and starts. Less complicated and more likely to be a starting point for the driverless revolution is the highway system and the trucks that ship things from point A to point B.
Mars Auto, a new South Korea-based startup, is aiming to pioneer such technology. To that end, its developers created a training program for its truck driving artificial intelligence that uses the popular PC game Euro Truck Simulator 2. Mars Auto is using a video game to teach trucks how to drive by themselves.
