PlusAI reaches ‘93.4 percent safety readiness’ ahead of autonomous truck launch
PlusAI says it has reached 93.4 percent “Safety Case Readiness” as the autonomous trucking company moves toward the planned commercial launch of factory-built driverless trucks in 2027. The company has published updated performance figures for the first half of 2026, showing improvements in safety validation…
The company has also expanded its real-world operations during the first half of the year. It launched a commercial autonomous fleet trial with International and Ryder on the I-35 freight corridor in Texas and announced plans to introduce autonomous trucks in Southern Europe through.
PlusAI also released SuperDrive 6.0, adding improvements to its AI and processing capabilities as well as support for night driving and navigating construction zones. The company expanded its work with Nvidia to use the company’s Alpamayo foundation model, Drive Hyperion platform and Halos safety.
What Happened
It also achieved four ISO certifications and expanded commercialization partnerships in Europe and Japan. PlusAI defines Safety Case Readiness as its progress toward completing the engineering evidence required to support safe commercial deployment.
PlusAI says it has reached 93.4 percent “Safety Case Readiness” as the autonomous trucking company moves toward the planned commercial launch of factory-built driverless trucks in 2027.
The company has published updated performance figures for the first half of 2026, showing improvements in safety validation, autonomous driving and the number of journeys completed without assistance from remote operators.
PlusAI says it expects to reach 100 percent Safety Case Readiness in 2027, ahead of commercial deployment of trucks equipped with its SuperDrive autonomous driving system.
Key Details
The company’s Remote Assistance Free Trips metric measures how frequently trucks can complete journeys without intervention from a remote operator, while Autonomous Miles Percentage measures the proportion of miles driven autonomously during commercial operations. Over the past six months, PlusAI has continued.
Safety Case Readiness increased to 93.4 percent in the first half of 2026, compared with 90.1 percent in the second half of 2025.
The proportion of miles driven autonomously during commercial operations, which PlusAI calls Autonomous Miles Percentage, increased from 99.2 percent to 99.8 percent.
Remote Assistance Free Trips – the proportion of trips completed without intervention from a remote operator – increased from 79 percent to 85.2 percent.
Why It Matters
The company is pursuing a commercialization strategy based on integrating its autonomous driving technology into trucks produced by established manufacturers rather than retrofitting vehicles after production. PlusAI works with manufacturers and industry partners including Scania, MAN, International, Hyundai Motor Company and Iveco.
PlusAI is targeting more than 90 percent of trips without remote assistance before commercial launch.
The company says its latest results keep it on track for commercial deployment of factory-built autonomous trucks in 2027.
