Uninterrupted Performance
Self-driving trucks require high-performance computing systems capable of delivering seamless, stable, and uninterrupted operation under constant duress, where even a momentary failure could have catastrophic consequences.
Environmental Endurance
The systems must withstand temperature extremes, shocks, vibrations, and traffic-related pollutants that can cause corrosion, loosen parts, or compromise performance.
Hardware Reliability
Robust components are essential to maintain operational reliability under the constant physical strain of road conditions and exposure to the elements.
Fleet Management Efficiency
Connected trucks enable real-time data collection from sensors for vehicle monitoring, tracking, and operational analysis, improving fleet management and safety.
Data Security Challenges
With vast amounts of data being exchanged between vehicles and central systems, secure and reliable communication networks are crucial to protect against unauthorized access and ensure data integrity.
