The autonomous truck

Denis Sverdlov, CEO of Charge, the company creator of the YotaPhone, the first mobile with two screens, said to change the direction of the company.they are going to build autonomous and modular electric trucks for the cities. Furthermore, these trucks will be assembled by an employee in only 4 hours.

The futuristic trucks will have a new design thought to beautify a city, not like the current trucks. They will have a battery that will let them do 100 milles, but they will be able to take a generator that, with gasoline, could reach 500 milles more whith a payload of approximately of 1.500 kg. They will also be completely autonomous, which will allow them to take the most adequate route and reduce traffic jams in the cities. Finally, the more fascinating is that they will be modulators, this means that you can probably make biggest the truck, and add engines, if the cargo needs it. And this can be do it in a few minutes.

Today the trucks are still far from real, but we hope to see them soon in ours moderns cities.
