PlusAI reaches key milestones ahead of launching its autonomous trucks

PlusAI Inc. yesterday said it has updated its commercial readiness metrics for the first half of 2026, highlighting progress towards deployments of factory-built autonomous trucks in 2027. The company, founded in 2016, is developing an AI-based driver for autonomous trucks and has continued safety validation of its SuperDrive software with global OEM partners on factory-built trucks.

“Every six months, we publish our commercial readiness metrics because they provide a transparent view into our progress,” said David Liu, co-founder and CEO of PlusAI. The operational improvements combined with the commercial milestones our team has achieved recently show that PlusAI is making measurable progress toward deploying factory-built autonomous trucks at commercial scale.

During the first half of this year, PlusAI said it has launched a commercial autonomous fleet trial with International and Ryder on the I-35 freight corridor in Texas, announced the first autonomous trucks in Southern Europe with Spanish logistics operator Sesé and the government of Aragon, and released SuperDrive 6.0, which delivers AI and processing improvements as well as enabling night driving and construction-zone handling designed for scaled driverless operations. The company also expanded its collaboration with NVIDIA by using the Alpamayo foundation model, DRIVE Hyperion, and Halos safety technologies, achieved four key ISO certifications supporting commercial deployment, and expanded international commercialization efforts through partnerships in Europe and Japan.

The company said it has continued to improve the safety validation, operational maturity, and efficiency of its SuperDrive software with global partners. The updated metrics provide a transparent view into its progress toward commercial deployment.
