AUTOMATED DRIVING & ACTIVE SAFETY SYSTEMS SHAPING FUTURE TRANSPORTATION. REDUCING ACCIDENTS. INCREASING FREIGHT EFFICIENCY. With recent enhancements to the Detroit Assurance suite of safety systems, Daimler Trucks North America is the first manufacturer to put partially automated driving features (SAE level 2) into series production. The Detroit Assurance 5.0 Adaptive Cruise Control and Active Lane Assist (Lane Keep Assist) features make automated driving possible in all speed ranges for the first time in a series production truck. Automating acceleration, deceleration and steering helps reduce the chance for human error and potentially reduce accidents. The newly established Autonomous Technology Group is part of Daimler Trucks’ global effort to put highly automated trucks (SAE level 4) onto the roads within a decade. To achieve this, Daimler Trucks is investing more than EUR 500 million (more than USD 570 million). In commercial trucking, level 4 is the logical next step after level 2 to increase safety as well as efficiency and freight efficiency. Learn more.
