Plus Together with TRATON GROUP Brands Scania, MAN, and International Launch Global Release of Level 4 Autonomous Trucking Software in Europe and the U.S. and Move to Next Phase of Commercializing Autonomous Trucks

Published

SANTA CLARA, Calif. and MUNICH, Oct. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Plus together with the TRATON GROUP brands Scania, MAN, and International marked the successful completion of their initial phase of collaboration to bring driverless trucks to the world. The milestone was achieved by the release of the Beta 5.0 version of Plus’s Level 4 AI-based autonomous driving software, SuperDrive™, which is now operational in TRATON autonomous trucks in Europe and the U.S. and after months of public road testing on both continents. The companies have also mapped hub-to-hub routes for phased commercial deployment in Texas.

“Deploying a global product requires seamless integration across people and technology. We’re proud of the progress we’ve made in our Level 4 autonomous trucking program with Plus, and excited to move to the next phase of our collaboration, which will include continued technology development in addition to fleet trials in Texas in the coming months,” said Peter Hafmar, Vice President and Head of Autonomous Solutions at Scania, leading the coordination of Autonomous Solutions for the TRATON GROUP.

The achievement highlights the commitment to excellence from the TRATON GROUP brands and Plus, as well as the power of international collaboration. Teams in Sweden, Germany, and the U.S. worked in close partnership to ensure seamless deployment of the autonomous driving software. This included establishing a well-defined process for software release and testing, which now features a structured cadence: offline testing, closed-course evaluations, and extensive public road testing in both Europe and the U.S.

With Texas being a strategic transportation hub in the U.S. and home to a number of major trucking routes, International and Plus plan to use it as the start of their autonomous hub-to-hub transport operations in the U.S. and expand the route to other states and eventually cover the U.S.

Shawn Kerrigan, COO and Co-founder at Plus, said: “Today’s milestone exemplifies Plus’s ability to quickly deliver a safe and scalable AI-centric autonomous driving system that can already operate on two continents for the TRATON GROUP. The next phase of fleet pilots will help fleets gain a practical understanding of how to integrate our autonomous trucks into their operations, and the safety and efficiency benefits these trucks bring.”

The software was meticulously developed with global deployment in mind, necessitating a high level of coordination between the European and American teams across multiple brands and locations. The approach included:

A Defined Testing Process: Implementing a regular and thorough testing regimen to ensure reliability and performance.Feature Metrics and Autonomy Readiness: Developing a robust system to track key feature metrics and assess overall system readiness for autonomous operations.Global Product Alignment: Aligning on a global product roadmap while architecting software that accommodates differences in sensor placement and low-level actuation for different vehicle designs.Feature Consistency Across Platforms: Ensuring that all features perform effectively on both EU and U.S. platform variants, including compatibility across localization, perception, planning, and control layers.

Deployment of the common autonomous driving software is made possible by Plus’s cutting-edge generative AI technology and months of public road testing and validation. The autonomous trucks can now operate under different weather conditions from snow in Sweden to extreme heat in Texas. SuperDrive™ also dynamically adjusts to the behavior differences of road users and diverse driving conditions on both continents.

Mili and Egnyte Partner to put Client Documents to work in Financial Advice

Published

By

The partnership brings Egnyte’s secure content platform and Mili’s AI agents together, so advice firms can deliver more comprehensive, personalized advice at scale.

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Mili, an AI platform for wealth management firms, and Egnyte, a leader in secure content collaboration, intelligence, and governance, today announced a partnership that brings Mili’s AI agents to client documents in Egnyte. Advisors work from a file or a whole client folder alongside data from the firm’s CRM, portfolio and planning systems, under each advisor’s Egnyte permissions.

Kitces Research finds that reviewing client documents is the most common way advisors use AI. Its productivity research puts a new financial plan at 15 to 40 hours of team time.

Advisors use Mili’s agents to model the tax cost of moving a client’s accounts into the firm’s strategy, weigh a rebalance against unrealized gains, summarize a bonus agreement and build a financial snapshot from a statement. The agents link answers to their sources and flag what an analysis may still need.

David Ringler, Managing Director at Onyx Bridge Wealth Group ($1.6B+ AUM), said, “Egnyte and Mili are two valuable pieces of technology in our stack, and bringing them together has changed how our practice runs. Mili’s meeting prep and planning agents have become significantly better with Egnyte data behind them.”

Chirag Gandhi, Co-Founder and CEO of Mili, said, “How many clients an advice firm can serve well has long been capped. It is set by the work of understanding each client’s financial life. Agentic AI is changing that, helping advice firms uplift client capacity by accelerating the delivery of high-quality advice.”

Kyle Blair, Director of Global Financial Services at Egnyte, said, “Egnyte helps financial services firms accelerate critical business operations by turning document-heavy tasks into faster, connected, and revenue-generating workflows. Our partnership enables Mili’s AI agents to securely access and work on customer data within Egnyte for better business outcomes.”

The integration is live for mutual customers. Building on Mili’s work with hundreds of advice firms, it aims to put a firm’s full client knowledge into its advice.
