Safety Case Readiness Reaches 93.4%, On Track for 100% in 2027
SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#Autonomousdriving--PlusAI, a Physical AI company of virtual driver software for autonomous trucks, announced updated commercial readiness metrics for the first half of 2026, highlighting continued progress toward the commercial deployment of factory-built autonomous trucks targeted for 2027.
Since the January 2026 update of the metrics, PlusAI has continued to improve the safety validation, operational maturity and efficiency of SuperDrive™, while also achieving significant commercial milestones. PlusAI expects to achieve 100% safety case readiness in 2027. During the first half of 2026, the company:
- Launched a commercial autonomous fleet trial with International and Ryder on the I-35 freight corridor in Texas;
- Announced the first autonomous trucks in Southern Europe, in cooperation with Spanish logistics operator Sesé and the Government of Aragon, Spain;
- Released SuperDrive™ 6.0, delivering significant AI and processing improvements as well as enabling night driving and construction zone handling designed for scaled driverless operations;
- Expanded its collaboration with NVIDIA by leveraging the Alpamayo foundation model, DRIVE Hyperion and Halos safety technologies;
- Achieved four key ISO certifications supporting commercial deployment;
- Expanded international commercialization efforts through partnerships in Europe and Japan; and
- Received Fast Company's 2026 World Changing Ideas recognition for SuperDrive.
"Every six months we publish our commercial readiness metrics because they provide a transparent view into our progress," said David Liu, CEO and Co-Founder of PlusAI. "The operational improvements combined with the commercial milestones our team has achieved recently show that PlusAI is making measurable progress toward deploying factory-built autonomous trucks at commercial scale."
Commercial Readiness Metrics
Through the first half of 2026, PlusAI’s Safety Case Readiness (SCR) has reached 93.4%, Autonomous Miles Percentage (AMP) is at 99.8%, and Remote Assistance Free Trips (RAFT) increased to 85.2%, up from 90.1%, 99.2%, and 79%, respectively, in the second half of 2025.
Since introducing these metrics in 2025, PlusAI has steadily improved all three indicators while expanding real-world operations. PlusAI continues to target 100% Safety Case Readiness and more than 90% Remote Assistance Free Trips before commercial launch.
"Commercializing autonomous trucks requires more than a capable AI system," said Shawn Kerrigan, COO and Co-Founder of PlusAI. "It requires proving that the system is safe, reliable and operationally efficient while working closely with OEMs, fleets and ecosystem partners. Our progress across these metrics, together with the commercial milestones we've achieved this year, reflects the maturity of both our technology and our commercialization strategy."
Safety Case Readiness (SCR) measures progress toward completing the engineering evidence required to support safe commercial deployment.
Remote Assistance Free Trips (RAFT) measures the percentage of trips completed without remote operator intervention, reflecting operational maturity and scalability.
Autonomous Miles Percentage (AMP) measures the percentage of miles driven autonomously during commercial operations.
Over the past six months, PlusAI has continued safety validation of SuperDrive with global OEM partners on factory-built trucks. These efforts build on the company’s decade of AI development and reinforce its strategy of commercializing autonomous trucking through established truck manufacturers and fleet operators.
