**Autonomous Vehicle - Mercedes Benz's self-driving Truck** German automaker Mercedes-Benz has said that it’s putting the brakes on developing self-driving cars. Earlier today, News.com.au reported that Ola Kallenius Daimler chair and Mercedes head of cars spoke to journalists, telling them the company is shifting its approach away from self-driving cars  Mercedes-Benz and its sister company Freightliner reportedly believe that transport fleets and haulage firms are more likely to invest in the nascent technology than consumers. The right bet? Self-driving cars have been having a bit of a hard time in the press recently. A recent survey by the American Automobile Association (AAA) found that most Americans don’t actually trust the technology. In a recent interview with Reason, talking about Level 5 fully autonomous self-driving vehicles, founder of open source self-driving platform Comma.ai George Hotz said: “It’s a scam… No one’s close.” He added that full self-driving taxis are still at least a decade away. Perhaps Mercedes‘ move to focus on EVs alongside autonomous trucks is all in the name of closing the gap on Tesla. A recent tear down of a Model 3 found its tech is about six years ahead of the competition. source : https://thenextweb.com/shift/2020/03/10/mercedes-benz-important-self-driving-cars-trucks-evs/
