Towing two trailers... “I think I mistakenly thought it was loaded with expensive equipment.”
(San Francisco = Yonhap News) Correspondent Kwon Young-jeon = An absurd incident occurred in the United States in which thieves who were hoping to make a 'big hit' by stealing a large trailer with the logo of Nvidia, the No. 1 artificial intelligence (AI) semiconductor company, abandoned it and fled in vain.
According to the U.S. information technology (IT) media Wired and local media San Francisco Standard on the 26th (local time), 'Plus AI', a self-driving truck developer, had two large trailers stolen from a warehouse in Fremont, California on the night of the 23rd.
It is believed that the thieves used a bold tactic of breaking the lock and attaching the trailer to their tow truck and pulling it away.
Since the stolen trailer had Nvidia's logo engraved on it along with the Plus AI logo in large letters, they seemed to have expected it to contain expensive AI chips or expensive hardware.
However, those who opened the tailgate of the stolen trailer in Newark, about 800 meters away from the original location, confirmed that what was loaded inside was none other than sand weighing a total of 40,000 pounds (about 18 tons).
This sand was loaded to recreate the actual cargo loading situation during the testing of the driving performance of the self-driving truck.
The thieves fled, leaving the trailer abandoned on the side of the road.
Lauren Kwan, Vice President of Marketing at Plus AI, speculated, “I think they mistakenly believed that it was carrying very valuable equipment because of the (Nvidia) brand logo.”
Fremont police said they are tracking the thief's whereabouts based on CCTV footage, but no suspects have been arrested yet.
NVIDIA and Plus AI are working together to develop autonomous truck technology and AI software.
AI outlook — possibilities, not facts
Fremont police will apprehend thieves based on CCTV footage.
