ISEE deploys autonomous terminal tractors
ISEE says it has deployed the world’s first fully autonomous yard trucks.
The vehicles were deployed at a 1.7 million sq.-ft. distribution center in Texas, where the company says they are streamlining the yard movements of trailers and containers.
“This campus is the first facility to commercially deploy a fleet of fully autonomous yard trucks. It validates that ISEE is leading the industry in autonomous yard truck technology,” said Yibiao Zhao, ISEE CEO and co-founder.
ISEE says automating yard moves improves safety, addresses the labor shortage, and integrates seamlessly with the existing yard management system, warehouse management system and facility operations.

This is an application where autonomous trucks could be leveraged as it is a controlled environment with no public access. This removes the random interaction possibility. I am interested in learning how an autonomous truck connects the air lines, and electrical cord to the trailer.
