Autonomous Trucks
A TuSimple truck in traffic. The company says it faces no penalties from FMCSA for an incident in Arizona when one of its trucks struck a concrete barrier on Interstate 10. Autonomous driving technology company TuSimple said it has been cleared by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration concerning an April 6, 2022, incident in Tuscon, Ariz., when one of its trucks struck a concrete barrier on Interstate 10, which resulted in no injuries. After the incident, we halted autonomous operations, launched an internal review and collaborated with regulators,” President and CEO Cheng Lu said in a statement. Last December, TuSimple completed a driver-out demonstration along an 80-mile stretch in Arizona and has completed several more runs since.
