AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE, ASSOCIATED TRAILER AND AUTONOMOUS TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM

摘要

The invention relates to an autonomous vehicle having a vehicle body (2), a chassis (3) with at least one driven wheel (3a), a hitch (4) for coupling a trailer (5) to the autonomous vehicle (1) and at least one distance sensor (6) which detects in a contactless fashion and is configured to output signals (7) in at least one transmitting direction (S) and which is arranged on the autonomous vehicle (1) in such a way that it outputs the signals (7) at a height (h) which is below a maximum elevation (H) of the vehicle body (2), and the transmitting direction (S) of which has a directional component (R) which intersects, in a plan view of the autonomous vehicle 1, the horizontal projection of the vehicle body (2). The invention also relates to an associated trailer (5) and to an associated autonomous transportation system (22).
