Starsky Robotics Tests Unmanned Truck on Florida Highway

Some previous discussion 2 weeks back on our unmanned test on a closed road at 55: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20177593. There we were testing our emergency procedures, safety operations, hardware checklists, and running through the game plan for the unmanned run.

For this milestone we're making public today, we demonstrated our truck driving without a person in it on a public highway.

It was remote-controlled (teleoperated) from a rest position onto the highway, supervised by the same driver at higher speeds, and then driven off the highway to a stopped position again by the same driver.
