## Why It Matters
Autonomous trucks represent the application of autonomous-vehicle technology to freight transportation. By combining the vehicle class "truck" with autonomy, they extend self-driving capabilities into logistics and cargo movement. This classification includes high-level autonomy examples such as the Evocargo N1, described as an L5 small truck model, and other vehicle projects like the KAMAZ-54901 and KAMAZ-3373 "Shuttle". The topic is treated as its own subject of study and documentation, with a dedicated Wikimedia Commons category and a corresponding Wikipedia entry ("Self-driving truck"). For researchers, manufacturers, fleet operators, and policymakers, the autonomous truck is a discrete category that groups vehicles and projects focused on carrying goods while operating without human input. As an identifiable class, it provides a framework for comparing technical approaches, vehicle designs, and regulatory discussions tied to automated freight movement.

## Notable For
- Being a dedicated subclass that bridges "truck" and "autonomous vehicle" classifications.
- Inclusion of high-autonomy model examples, such as the Evocargo N1 (autonomous L5 small truck).
- Presence of documented related vehicles like KAMAZ-54901 and KAMAZ-3373 "Shuttle".
- Consolidation of visual and documentary resources under the Wikimedia Commons category "Autonomous trucks" and a Wikipedia entry titled "Self-driving truck".
