Volvo trucks developed a self-steering truck for Brazilian sugar-cane growth, and an executive said it might make recruiting drivers easier. “With this solution we will soon be able to significantly increase the productivity of our customers in the sugar-cane industry,” Wilson Lirmann, president of Volvo Group Latin America, said in a statement. “At the same time, we will improve their drivers’ working conditions and safety. This in turn will make the job more appealing, and make it easier to recruit and maintain drivers.” For more, see MarketWatch.
