TuSimple Holdings, a public corporation headquartered in San Diego, said it successfully completed an 80-mile run along highways and surface streets, including Interstate 10, from Tucson to a location in the Phoenix area with nobody in the cab.
The company, which has tested autonomous trucks at a facility in Tucson, said the Dec. 22 trial run, conducted at night, was the first involving no human driver in a large commercial vehicle that interacted naturally with motorists on open public roads. Waymo and other companies also have tested self-driving trucks.
