And they can detach while still in motion. 🧐 engineering
The firm, Parallel Systems, recently raised $49.55 million in Series A funds to build autonomous freight trains. The funding will go, in part, towards advanced tests for its self-driving machines.Railroads are a great testbed for self-driving technologies as the constrained movement of trains means there is less possibility for something to go wrong. On top of that, the transportation sector in the U.S.
Parallel System's individual railcars can easily detach for greater rail freight flexibility. Source: arallel System's autonomous railcars are set apart by their ability to separate and go off in different directions while on the track. Each railcar is individually powered and can split off to multiple destinations without stopping by slowing down and waiting for a track switch to be activated.
