PlusAI has announced the formation of its Safety and Policy Advisory Council, which will inform and advise the company on key safety issues, operational strategies and the regulatory landscape for autonomous trucks as the company advances toward the commercial launch of factory-built autonomous trucks, targeted for 2027.
“The safe and successful commercialization of autonomous trucks requires more than breakthrough technology – it demands close partnerships with trucking industry leaders, federal and state regulators and policymakers,” said Shawn Kerrigan, chief operating officer and co-founder at PlusAI. “The PlusAI Safety and Policy Advisory Council brings together top leaders and industry experts in trucking to ensure we are setting the right foundation for safe and scalable deployment of factory-built autonomous trucks.”
The council consists of transportation and logistics experts and government leaders, who have decades of experience guiding trucking policy, regulations and business development in the trucking sector in the USA.
Inaugural members of the advisory council include: Andrew Boyle, former co-president of Boyle Transportation and former chairman of the American Trucking Associations (ATA); Jeff Denham, former US congressman from California; Sue Lawless, former acting deputy administrator, chief safety officer and executive director at the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA); Spencer R Moore, former commissioner of the Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS) and former chairman of the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA); Dan Van Alstine, former president and chief operating officer of Ruan Transportation Management Systems and chair of the American Trucking Associations (ATA).
