PlusAI said it has made further progress toward its planned 2027 commercial launch of autonomous trucks, releasing updated readiness metrics that indicate improvements in safety validation, autonomous operation and reliance on remote assistance.
The Silicon Valley-based autonomous trucking company reported that Safety Case Readiness for its SuperDrive platform reached 90.1%, up from 86.1% in the first half of 2025. The metric reflects progress toward the company’s target of full safety validation required for commercial deployment.

PlusAI also said its Autonomous Miles Percentage rose to 99.2%, indicating the system’s ability to remain in autonomous mode across key freight corridors. Remote Assistance Free Trips, a measure of how often trips can be completed without human intervention from remote operators, improved to 79.0%, moving closer to the company’s stated goal of exceeding 90% for economically scalable operations.
“Safety and system maturity as well as operational efficiency are foundational requirements for deploying factory-built autonomous trucks at scale,” said David Liu, chief executive and co-founder of PlusAI.
The company began publicly sharing key performance indicators in July 2025. Since then, PlusAI said Safety Case Readiness has increased by about 20 percentage points, while Remote Assistance Free Trips have improved by roughly 19 percentage points. Gains in Autonomous Miles Percentage over the same period totaled around four percentage points, according to the company.
PlusAI’s SuperDrive platform is built around what it describes as an AI-native “Reasoning-Reflex” autonomy stack. The system combines rule-based safety guardrails, redundant hardware and software layers, and training derived from more than six million real-world driving miles, supplemented by large-scale simulation and synthetic data to address rare edge cases.

For commercialization, PlusAI plans to deploy factory-built autonomous trucks in partnership with major manufacturers, including TRATON GROUP, IVECO, and Hyundai. Additional brands integrating the system include Scania, MAN, and International, the company said. PlusAI argues that factory-level integration is essential for meeting safety requirements and aligning with existing fleet procurement and maintenance practices.
Initial commercial operations are planned for the Texas Triangle freight corridor, with subsequent expansion into other routes in the United States and Europe. Current activities include a commercial pilot with a top-ten U.S. carrier in Texas and public road testing in Sweden, PlusAI said.
