Daimler Truck demonstrated Freightliner safety systems at its Oregon proving grounds, where radar and cameras detected collision risks and automatically braked in tests involving a truck traveling 40 to 55 mph with a trailer carrying about 30,000 pounds.

Several upgrades are scheduled to become standard on Freightliner Cascadias built beginning in 2027.
