Daimler

Mercedes-Benz parent company Daimler recently showed off its prototype for a cargo truck that can drive itself. The so-called “Future Truck 2025” is capable of handling driving tasks at speeds up to 50mph. The truck is designed to offer an airplane-like autopilot feature, freeing drivers to deal with other work tasks, and to reduce the fatigue associated with long-haul trucking.

The Daimler SP250 Roadster is one of the classically styled open-top two-seaters of the 1960s that just seems to be ageless. When the car was first brought to the U.S. in 1959, it went by the name of the Daimler Dart, but Daimler quickly switched to the SP250 so as to avoid confusion with the already existing Dodge Dart.
