Starsky Robotics Becomes First Uncrewed Truck to Hit 55 MPH

The Florida unmanned trucking company Starsky Robotics may have set a record for the fastest an uncrewed vehicle has driven on a (closed) public road, when one of its trucks hit 55 MPH with nobody on board in a recent speed test on the Selmon Expressway outside Tampa E [Ed: if you have evidence suggesting otherwise, please send it to ed at thedrive dot com]. This milestone comes as Starsky approaches its first uncrewed public road test, and builds toward operating a “driverless” freight company in Florida and several other Southeastern states. Starsky began its first fully uncrewed testing in February, and has been building up to the recent 55 MPH test, which is the planned operating speed for the firm’s trucks.
