SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pronto, a world leader in autonomous technology, is proud to announce that it is now the exclusive provider of autonomous and advanced driver-assistance solutions to Bell Trucks America, Inc. (BTA).
As part of the partnership, Pronto will make available its advanced autonomous driving and driver safety technologies to all Bell customers in the US and Mexico on both new Bell truck purchases and existing fleets via BTA’s network of 25+ dealerships and service centers.
“We’re thrilled and honored that Bell Trucks America has chosen Pronto as its exclusive autonomous technology partner,” said Anthony Levandowski, CEO of Pronto. “We started Pronto out of a desire to build real applications for autonomous technology today, and our partnership with Bell Trucks America is confirmation that our technology and strategy are providing valuable solutions to real world problems.”
With the Pronto partnership, Bell trucks will be the first commercially available off-road trucks featuring AI-powered “Level 4” autonomy.
