Einride has announced significant advancements in its technology platform at the Spring Update event, as stated in a press release. The company introduced a vessel-agnostic autonomous SaaS product, allowing its Einride Driver autonomous drive stack to be used with any hardware. This expansion includes initial defense contracts in Europe, focusing on reducing human risk.
