We hit the road and headed to Houston to witness
@BotAutoAV launch America's first fully humanless over-the-road commercial trucking operation.
No safety attendant. No observer. No human in the cab. Just a paid load for Ryan Transportation, hauled 231 miles from Riggy's Truck Parking in northeast Houston to Safe Stop in Hutchins, just south of Dallas, on April 29, 2026.
This is our Field Report.
