GM Defense is developing an autonomous, driverless military vehicle based on the Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD, and is presenting the concept at the Association of the United States Army Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C. The prototype is designed to operate without a driver in the cab and is being positioned as a potential asset for Army use.
Multiple outlets report that GM Defense plans to move from prototypes to trials, with testing expected to begin in 2027. Car and Driver describes the vehicle as a Silverado-based autonomous truck being evaluated for potential adoption by the U.S. Army. The coverage focuses on the demonstration and the program timeline, with differing levels of detail about the vehicle’s exact capabilities, but all align on the same vehicle family and the intent to test it with the military.
