PlusAI is making progress toward commercializing factory-built autonomous trucks in 2027. The company has demonstrated steady advancements in safety, autonomy, and scalability through real-world testing and end-to-end AI architecture. The initial launch is expected in the Texas Triangle, with plans to expand to other freight corridors in the U.S. and Europe. PlusAI's KPIs include Safety Case Readiness (86%), Autonomous Miles Percentage (98%), and Remote Assistance Free Trips (76%).
PlusAI, an artificial intelligence company specializing in AI-based virtual driver software for factory-built autonomous commercial trucks, has announced significant advancements in its key performance indicators (KPIs) [1]. These KPIs reflect the company's progress toward commercial readiness, with a focus on safety, autonomy, and scalability.
In the first half of 2025, PlusAI achieved notable improvements in its Safety Case Readiness (SCR), Autonomous Miles Percentage (AMP), and Remote Assistance Free Trips (RAFT) metrics. The SCR metric, which measures the maturity and completeness of the company's safety case framework, reached 86%, up from 75% in the second half of 2024. The AMP, which quantifies the percentage of distance driven autonomously, improved to 98%, from 97%. The RAFT metric, which measures the percentage of trips completed without human intervention, increased to 76%, up from 69% [1].
PlusAI aims to achieve 100% Safety Case Readiness and more than 90% Remote Assistance-Free Trips by the time of its commercial launch in Texas in 2027. These milestones will demonstrate that the company's fully autonomous virtual driver system, SuperDrive, meets the required safety, performance, and operational efficiency standards for real-world commercial deployment [1].
The company's progress is backed by extensive real-world testing and proprietary data, which have been used to develop a generalizable "driving intelligence" platform. PlusAI has also conducted public road testing in Texas and Sweden, with customer fleet trials scheduled for fall 2025 [1].
PlusAI's CEO and Co-Founder, David Liu, stated, "We have a clear roadmap to the commercial launch of SuperDrive. By publicly sharing these performance metrics, we're demonstrating our commitment to the safe and scalable deployment of factory-built autonomous trucks. It's essential for partners, customers, regulators, and all road users to have visibility into our safety-driven progress and our disciplined approach toward commercializing autonomous driving technology" [1].
The company's strategic partnership with TRATON GROUP's Scania, MAN, and International brands, Hyundai Motor Company, Iveco Group, Bosch, and DSV, further underscores its commitment to accelerating the deployment of next-generation autonomous trucks [1].
