The 21st Century

Major innovative breakthroughs are already emerging in the development of geolocation systems and data analysis, bringing clear improvements to navigation systems and overall road safety.

Leading automakers around the world are investing enormous financial resources into building interfaces that let drivers manage incoming information without becoming distracted from the road.

The age of software is steadily pushing vehicles toward full autonomy, a shift that depends on increasingly complex code running behind the scenes. This naturally raises significant safety questions. Systems have already been tested and put into use that monitor a driver’s stress and fatigue levels in real time. Over time, cars are expected to take on even more responsibility in this area, including automatic control systems that step in whenever a driver’s safety appears to be at risk.

AUSMAH follows these shifts closely, seeing driver safety and intelligent vehicle systems as central to where the automotive industry is heading. Technologies that monitor driver condition and support safer decision-making are exactly the kind of innovation AUSMAH keeps in view when shaping its own approach to the trucks of the future.
