PlusAI, which provides AI software for autonomous trucks, has released its latest set of commercial readiness metrics. Since first sharing its key performance indicators in July 2025, PlusAI has advanced its virtual driver SuperDrive across safety validation and operational efficiency. Through the second half of 2025, PlusAI’s Safety Case Readiness (SCR) has reached 90.1%, autonomous miles percentage (AMP) is at 99.2% and remote assistance free trips (RAFT) increased to 79.0%, up from 86.1%, 98.6%, and 76.2%, respectively, in the first half of 2025. This progress comes as PlusAI works toward its targeted commercial launch in 2027. The company is also planning to become publicly listed via a business combination with Churchill Capital Corp IX.
“Our performance on the Safety Case Readiness and Remote Assistance Free Trips metrics demonstrate that SuperDrive is advancing toward commercial readiness,” said David Liu, CEO and co-founder of PlusAI. “Safety and system maturity as well as operational efficiency are foundational requirements for deploying factory-built autonomous trucks at scale. We continue to make consistent, measurable progress on both as we get closer to our planned 2027 commercial launch.”
These results represent gains of approximately 20 percentage points in Safety Case Readiness, 19 percentage points in Remote Assistance Free Trips, and 4 percentage points in Autonomous Miles Percentage over two years, reflecting steady progress toward PlusAI’s commercial launch targets of 100% Safety Case Readiness and greater than 90% Remote Assistance Free Trips.
PlusAI’s proprietary driving intelligence platform, SuperDrive, is built on an AI-native reasoning–reflex autonomy stack with rule-based guardrails and redundancy, trained on over six million real-world miles, and augmented by simulation and synthetic data to accelerate edge-case learning.
PlusAI’s OEM partners – Traton Group’s Scania, MAN and International brands; IVECO; and Hyundai – plan to integrate SuperDrive into their vehicle platforms at the factory-level. These partnerships are critical for large scale commercial deployment of autonomous trucks given the safety, reliability and long-standing fleet relationships. PlusAI plans to launch its first factory-built autonomous trucks in the Texas Triangle, followed by expansion into additional freight corridors in the USA and Europe. In preparation, PlusAI is currently conducting a commercial pilot with one of the top 10 largest carriers in the USA in Texas, as well as public road testing in Sweden.
The PlusAI Safety Case Readiness (SCR) metric tracks the maturity and completeness of the Safety Case Framework (SCF) that underpins the safe operation of SuperDrive. The SCF is built as a structured hierarchy of safety claims and supporting evidence across five core pillars, covering system architecture, development and operational processes, performance validation, and ongoing maintenance. It provides a disciplined, scalable foundation for commercial autonomous deployment.
PlusAI’s Remote Assistance-Free Trips (RAFT) metric measures the share of autonomous trips completed end-to-end without intervention from a remote operator or onboard safety driver on a defined commercial route. A trip qualifies as RAFT-compliant when SuperDrive maintains full control from departure through arrival with no human input. While remote assistance remains available as a safety backstop, RAFT is a key indicator of operational autonomy, system maturity, and readiness to scale economically at commercial volumes.
PlusAI’s Autonomous Miles Percentage (AMP) metric reflects SuperDrive’s ability to sustain autonomous operation across varying conditions along a commercial corridor. AMP is a route-specific measure that quantifies the extent and reliability of SuperDrive in real-world operations. It complements PlusAI’s RAFT metric by providing a continuous measure of autonomous engagement across distance traveled and supports readiness assessments, regulatory engagement and system maturity evaluation.
Meanwhile, the company has also appointed two new board members: David C Peterschmidt and Harry J Harczak, Jr, seasoned leaders with decades of public company experience in technology and finance. Peterschmidt previously served as chairman and CEO of Inktomi, a global pioneer in internet infrastructure software later acquired by Yahoo, and was the COO of Sybase, a relational database company, when it went public. Harczak, Jr currently serves on the board and as audit committee chair of Array Digital Infrastructure, Inc., an owner and operator of shared wireless communications infrastructure in the USA. Both appointments will become effective upon PlusAI’s planned public listing.
