Einride was founded several years ago to develop autonomous trucks (TPod) without the driver’s cabin. These were first demonstrated in 2019 as well as 2020. The company has evolved over the years and now relies on electric vehicles. Its “technology platform” is more important for fleets. Autonomous driving technology is still in development.
