The conceptual 'ATLANTIS' autonomous electric truck has been designed by Roman Dolzhenko and Dmitry Voronezhtsev as a rendering of what our shipping trucks could look like in the near future. The truck is imagined with Level 5 autonomy that enables it to run completely on its own without the need for any human monitoring or guidance and is thus devoid of a cabin to save space. The shipping truck is designed with smooth terrain in mind to make it primarily focused on highway environments.
The conceptual 'ATLANTIS' autonomous electric truck connects the vehicle itself to the rear trailer via a singular connection that would enable intuitive movement and potentially better handling as it swiftly shifts between locations.
