SANTA CLARA, Calif., October 22, 2024 — Plus, a global leader in autonomous driving software solutions, has been named a winner of the 2024 Reuters Automotive D.R.I.V.E. Honours for its Level 4 AI-based autonomous driving software, SuperDriveTM, in the Innovation category. The judging panel awarded Plus this distinction because of the company’s vision, impact, and scalability, calling SuperDrive a “game changer for real life autonomy use cases–bringing the tech to life.” Plus is being honored alongside industry leaders such as ARM, Hyundai, Polestar, and Stellantis this year.
Built on state-of-the-art AI technologies, including Generative AI and open foundation models, Plus’s SuperDrive Level 4 self-driving software makes it possible for vehicles to drive on their own and respond dynamically like a human driver. Plus is preparing SuperDrive for series production and safe and scalable global deployment on autonomous trucks with OEM partners including Hyundai Motor Company, Iveco Group, and Scania/MAN/International brands of the TRATON GROUP.
“Driverless trucks will have a transformational impact on our economy and society, so we are honored to be recognized as an industry leader helping to make this a reality through our AI-centric self-driving software,” said David Liu, CEO and Co-Founder at Plus. “Our team is working tirelessly to launch safe and scalable autonomous trucks with our OEM partners, three of the world’s most trusted commercial vehicle makers, cementing Plus’s key role in the exciting trillion dollar autonomous trucking market.”
SuperDrive is already being tested and validated on public roads in Europe and the U.S., and will be ready for driverless operations next year. These driverless trucks will transform transportation by improving road safety, reducing the total cost of ownership, increasing freight capacity, and creating new job opportunities for both drivers and those supporting autonomous trucking operations.
