BANF is already collaborating with major industry players such as Volvo, Hyundai, and DHL on implementation projects.
Currently, their sensors are installed on 123 commercial trucks worldwide, along with a few passenger vehicles.
Lee notes that self-driving trucks are engineered to operate continuously, placing extra strain on tires.
Electric semis, with their heavy battery loads, will add even more stress.
