After driving the car to Interstate 25, the driver sat in the rear compartment and let the vehicle operate on its own. The truck was accompanied by four Colorado patrol cars and three Otto vehicles.

"Transportation is being changed by technology. I think technology can help us save people," said Shailen Bhatt, director of the Transportation Department, Colorado, USA.

The manufacturing company said self-driving technology will help improve road safety and make transportation more stable. They found that a self-driving truck uses fuel more efficiently than humans because it moves at a limited speed and can predict traffic congestion, instead of constantly using brakes like humans.
