Fifteen former Google engineers, led by self-driving pioneer Anthony Levandowski, have launched Otto, a startup focused on bringing partial autonomous driving to big-rig trucks. The startup, including experienced individuals like Levandowski and co-founder Lior Ron, aims to advance autonomous technologies in the trucking industry, potentially ahead of autonomous cars. Otto’s approach differs from Google’s self-driving car project, emphasizing innovation in medium and heavy-duty vehicles.
