“The zero emission, electric, autonomous rail vehicle model gives Parallel Systems the ability to break trains down into their component parts, enabling each railcar to split off individually or form new platoons with others,” we noted.
The company has one new “rail vehicle” under its belt, which ran through its paces at the company’s test track in California last November. They list emergency stopping, thermal capabilities, braking performance, GPS, communications, and towing among the features tested and confirmed to be consistent with expectations.
“A big part of achieving commercialization is having a train control system that works with what the railroads use today. We are developing a system that will allow railroad companies to operate our autonomous vehicles from their in-house platforms,” explains Matt Soule, the company’s co-founder and CEO.
Parellel is such a great name. Their website is so cool, with a video clip of a storage bin riding the rail on autopilot 😍
