Mercedes-Benz has a self-driving truck for 2025

We’ve seen some concepts of self-driving cars from different manufacturers and a peek of what automobile driving could be in the near future. German automobile manufacturer, Mercedes-Benz, brings this auto-piloting feature to its trucks.

The Future Truck 2025 is designed to give truck drivers the freedom to be able to do other tasks while cruising the highway and also reduce the risk of accidents. Watch the video after the break.

With the use of advanced dual cameras, radar sensors, and blind-spot technology called “Highway Pilot”, this truck concept will ease the burden of sleep-deprived drivers. The “Highway Pilot” system will take the wheel as soon as the driver is able to enter the major thoroughfare.

The interior of Future Truck 2025 boasts premium design, like a luxurious cockpit on the go, while the exterior has striking front LED grid. It is surely a beautiful concept but as the name implies, it is still a prototype and we have to wait for a decade or so before we see this truck on the road.

Will the Future Truck 2025 hit the Philippine highways? We sure hope so. Year 2025 is still long wait, and the country’s future is bright.

Google has been purchasing a lot of companies recently and the newest one is DeepMind, an artificial intelligence company.


DeepMind, as described in their landing page, “is a cutting edge artificial intelligence company. We combine the best techniques from machine learning and systems neuroscience to build powerful general-purpose learning algorithms.”

The purpose of the acquisition is to fill in more AI experts to Google. It was reported that it was even led by Google’s CEO himself, Larry Page. December last year, Google also hired Ray Kurzweil, an inventor and futurist, as director of engineering focused on language processing and machine learning.

Google is not the only major company who is working on AI that actually learns and thinks for itself. Facebook, Yahoo, and IBM with its Watson supercomputer is also reported to be working on their own.

DeepMind was founded by neuroscientist Demis Hassabis, Skype and Kaaza developer Jaan Tallin and researcher Shane Legg.
