An Illinois-based cargo van operator filed a petition with the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals for a review of an exemption granted to autonomous truck developer Aurora Operations.
The waiver also covered requirements for the types and number of warning devices.
Giannoulias charged that FMCSA's July 9 wavier extension was out of order, issued without notice to the public.
The agency didn't respond to Overdrive queries, but the petition is under court review -- FMCSA must respond by Sept. 21.
The limited waiver already in place was set to expire July 9, and Aurora was requesting a full, five-year exemption.

While Tesla is only just starting to sell its electric truck in Europe, Lidl has taken the plunge in Germany, deploying a fully autonomous vehicle for live road deliveries.
The electric truck developed by Swedish company Einride literally has no cab at all.
Lidl is using this futuristic truck in Edermünde, near Kassel, to shuttle goods from its distribution center to a nearby store.
A Solution to the Truck Driver Shortage—or the End of the Road?
According to the International Road Transport Union (IRU), about 502,000 truck driver positions were unfilled in Europe in 2025, a shortfall of 13%.

For enterprises across the industrial chain, autonomous mining trucks are moving from concept verification to performance realization.
With the maturity of technologies, the economic advantages of autonomous mining trucks are gradually emerging.
Tongli Co., Ltd. has shipped more than 3,000 autonomous mining trucks.
With the improvement of autonomous driving technology, after the autonomous mining truck industry enters the large-scale commercialization phase, industry insiders are also considering the core competitiveness of the sector.
The industry will enter the competition of "systematic capabilities" in the future, pushing the mining industry to truly enter the full-domain unmanned production phase.

International Motors and PlusAI have settled on the computer their driverless trucks will run on.
HDT reported that early deployments will concentrate on corridors such as Interstate 10 through the Sun Belt, where weather, traffic and regulation are predictable.
Both systems run on Grote's 4SEE Digital Harness, which Fleet Owner said handles secure data transfer, lamp-specific light-out detection and over-the-air updates.
The hundreds of billions of miles Heck describes are what the other two will cost.
International has published no production start date in the material Fleet Owner cited.

China's autonomous mining industry has decisively moved past the "demonstration project" era dominated by single-vehicle showcases and closed-scenario validation.
Economic advantages accelerate adoption The core driver pushing autonomous mining trucks from concept to deployment is the economic advantage now fully validated under extreme operating conditions.
"Fewer people means safer; no people means safest" has become an industry consensus, and autonomous mining trucks are transitioning from peripheral auxiliary tools to core production assets.
Divergent supply chain performance and overseas expansion Autonomous mining trucks are already generating measurable revenue uplift for listed companies across the supply chain, though the earnings logic differs markedly by segment.
Tongli Heavy Industry (920599.BJ) has shipped over 3,000 autonomous mining trucks, with first-half total revenue of 3.563 billion yuan (approximately $531.9 million), up 12.13% year-on-year.

Virginia does not have autonomous vehicles on the road, at least not yet.
Now, in the 21st century, people are worried about the innovation of autonomous vehicles bringing driverless cars and trucks to the roads.
Delegate David Reid is a Democrat from Loudoun County who has been working with a group of lawmakers to come up with safety standards.
"We were really working on how we were going to define that, because is it safer than the average impaired human driver?

On the software subscription model of Robotruck, Chinese enterprises including DeepWay have already started relevant practices.
It is worth noting that after the release of the Semi electric heavy truck, Morgan Stanley immediately released a research report on Tesla.
Looking at the Semi truck opportunity alone, Morgan Stanley analysts estimate that its value can reach $20 per share, equivalent to a market value of about $80 billion.
Morgan Stanley expects that Tesla is expected to charge an autonomous driving software subscription fee of $0.85 to $1.00 per mile for Semi.
This shows that the monthly software revenue of one autonomous Semi is equivalent to the FSD revenue of about 120-180 passenger cars.

That would just be an Einride autonomous truck delivering groceries to a freundlich neighborhood grocery store.
The deployment marks another step toward commercial deployment of driverless freight vehicles, a move already seen across both Europe and the US.
The news is significant because Germany is Europe’s largest road freight market and has some of the continent’s strictest safety regulations governing autonomous vehicles.
Unlike many autonomous trucking demos that remain geofenced to test routes or industrial sites, the Einride truck is used in Lidl’s day-to-day logistics operation.
“Intelligence creates efficiency, and that is the backbone for permanently reliable product availability,” said Thomas Dangelmayer, head of operational logistics at Lidl in Germany.
