SELF DRIVEN

"When you're on the highway as a cyclist and a big truck blows by you, you feel the power shake through you, that's when you really think about safety," he says. When he's not behind the wheel of an in-development Freightliner, Wilfried is behind the handlebars, sharing the road with everything from two-wheeled bikes to eighteen-wheeled tractor-trailers. "You wonder: 'Did that truck driver see me or was he distracted?' So, for me, the personal side is extremely important in the development of advanced safety systems." Wilfried has been tasked by Martin Daum, member of the board of management with responsibility for the Daimler Trucks and Daimler Buses, with pioneering fully automated Level 4 truck technology and delivering it to the market within 10 years.
