No, it’s not a truck from a Steven Spielberg movie. It’s Gruzovikus, a vision of an autonomous truck created by Russian artists. Art. Lebedev’s graphic studio has boasted of its design, but so far it does not reveal who commissioned it.
Today’s trucks have been described by the creators of Art. Lebedev’s studio as “crazy bricks with high aerodynamic resistance”. Gruzovikus is different. Instead of a cab, in front of the vehicle, there is a streamlined screen that divides the air stream into two parts so that the whole set is cleaned of dirt. The designers inform that the ‘cabin’ of the unmanned truck is aerodynamic and the tractor is fully automated.
