There is a lot of attention on domestic manufacturing in the United States these days. But for Turner Caldwell, who spent nearly a decade at Tesla, there’s not enough attention on the minerals and metals that sit at the very bottom of the supply chain. It’s why he left Tesla and started Mariana Minerals in 2024. The purpose of his startup is to become a modern mining (and refining) operation that is set up for growth, because Caldwell has essentially one goal: bring more refined metal into the ecosystem. To do that, his company is trying to automate almost every aspect of a mining operation imaginable. The latest piece is vehicles. On Thursday, Mariana Minerals announced a partnership with Pronto, a startup that’s developed self-driving systems for haulage trucks and other off-road vehicles used at construction and mining sites. It’s the first deal that Pronto has struck since being acquired by Atoms, the new robotics venture run by Uber co-founder Travis Kalanick. The acquisition reunites Kalanick with Pronto founder Anthony Levandowski, the former star Google self-driving project engineer and controversial entrepreneur behind Otto, which Uber acquired in 2016. The partnership with Pronto will see autonomous haulage trucks begin operating next week at Copper One, a formerly idled copper mine in Utah that Mariana purchased last year. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. But the partnership is about more than just having autonomous trucks operating onsite, Caldwell told TechCrunch in an exclusive interview. Pronto’s autonomy system will be directly integrated into the software Mariana has developed to run operations at the mine, which it calls “MineOS.” That will make it possible to autonomously dispatch the trucks and coordinate their routes without a human in the loop, he said. This is part of Caldwell’s broader vision for how a mine should

Don’t Call It A Tesla Semi: China’s Windrose Delivers First EV Truck In The U.S. The Global E700 electric truck can use two CCS chargers at once to top up its 705-kilowatt-hour LFP battery. - China’s Windrose has delivered its first Global E700 electric truck tractor to its American customer. - The 1,400-horsepower Tesla Semi lookalike was handed over to Texas logistics firm Allogic and charging partner Greenspace E-Mobility earlier this month. - Windrose advertises a 416-mile range with a fully loaded trailer and a full battery. Chinese electric truck startup Windrose has delivered its first battery-powered Class 8 truck in the United States, the company said in a statement sent earlier this week, according to Reuters. The first U.S.-bound Windrose Global E700 electric truck tractor was handed over to Texas logistics firm Allogic and charging partner Greenspace E-Mobility through Windrose’s American partner. According to Greenspace E-Mobility, the battery-powered heavy-duty truck will haul cargo on the I-35 binational corridor connecting Mexico and Texas. Windrose claims that its truck is fully certified across Asia, Europe, North America, and South America. It expects approval in Oceania in the second half of this year. The Global E700 is a direct competitor for the Tesla Semi, which appears to have served as the main source of design inspiration for Windrose. That said, both the Semi and the Global E700 also have to contend with rivals from Freightliner, Volvo, and Peterbilt. Specs-wise, Windrose’s first commercially available model in the U.S. can hold its own against the best of them. It’s powered by a massive 705-kilowatt-hour lithium-iron-phosphate battery pack that runs at 800 volts. The battery feeds a 1,400-horsepower rear electric motor and enables a 416-mile estimated driving range with a full load. Charging can be done via an MCS connector, in which case it can

It's tempting to feel a sense of security on the road when considering all the driver-assistance technologies that are fast becoming standard equipment, from lane-keeping and blind-spot warning to automatic emergency braking and adaptive cruise control. While those features are among the building blocks for autonomous vehicles and have logged millions of real-world miles on American roads, the sad truth is sobering. According to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration data, 39,254 people died in US car crashes in 2024 and another 2.4 million were injured. The agency estimates more than 36,000 fatal car wrecks in 2025. A key argument for autonomous vehicles is that they will be safer, will obey traffic rules, will improve mobility for the elderly and disabled, won't drive drunk, and won't speed or take unnecessary risks. But according to the Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety, a non-profit Washington lobbying organization, much work needs to be done because there are no federal motor vehicle safety standards specific to autonomous vehicles. The organization released the results of an online survey done last month to take the public's pulse on autonomous passenger vehicles and heavy-duty trucks and the need to regulate them. And the results are interesting to say the least. Bikers Deserve Protection “Americans are calling for common sense safety protections that address the risks they face on our roads every day,” said Cathy Chase, president of Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety. “That means minimum federal safety standards for AVs, stronger requirements for automatic emergency braking (AEB) systems to protect pedestrians, bicyclists and motorcyclists, state laws to stop dangerous repeat speeding and reckless driving offenders, and better safeguards for sharing the road with large trucks."

International Motors is taking another step toward commercializing autonomous trucking. The OEM is launching a real-world autonomous truck pilot program with Ryder System. The initiative will put a factory-integrated autonomous truck into daily freight service along a key Texas corridor. Ryder Joins International’s Autonomous Truck Pilot on Texas Freight Lane Ryder and International take autonomous trucking out of the lab and onto a live, 600-mile Texas freight lane. The program marks Ryder as the first fleet to participate in International’s autonomous fleet trial initiative. The companies said early results point to strong on-time performance and high levels of autonomous operation. Real-World Autonomy Moves Beyond Test Tracks The pilot centers on a 600-mile round-trip route along Interstate 35 between Ryder facilities in Laredo and Temple, Texas. Unlike earlier autonomy trials that relied heavily on controlled environments or dedicated infrastructure, this program embeds the truck directly into an existing supply chain operation. An International LT Series tractor equipped with the OEM’s second-generation autonomous system is running the route daily for a Ryder customer. The goal: validate how seamlessly autonomous technology can integrate into live logistics networks without requiring new hubs or specialized terminals. That approach reflects a broader industry push to make autonomy practical for fleets already operating nationwide networks. Factory-Integrated Approach Targets Scalability At the core of the pilot is International’s factory-installed autonomous platform. This system combines lidar, radar, and camera systems with the S13 Integrated Powertrain. The truck runs PlusAI’s latest SuperDrive autonomous software, designed to enable long-haul highway driving. International executives say the emphasis is on delivering an OEM-validated, end-to-end solution that fleets can deploy within their existing operations. Rather than retrofitting trucks or building parallel infrastructure, the model focuses on integrating “virtual driver” capability directly into production vehicles and potentially lowering barriers to adoption.

Though it isn't nearly as widespread as the minds behind it likely want, autonomous driving is becoming increasingly prevalent all the same. Autonomous driving has been classified into different levels, with companies like Waymo implementing it for ridesharing. Driverless semi-trucks have begun to creep into the mainstream, too, delivering various goods without a person behind the wheel. As of early 2026, it looks like these trucks will make their way to the United States' fastest highway. The 41-mile-long Texas State Highway 130 sits at the center of this situation, notable for its low traffic and 85 mph speed limit. These elements have made it quite an attractive area for companies such as Einride, Aurora Innovation, and the aforementioned Waymo to plan or already begin testing out autonomous vehicles on this stretch of road. Einride, for its part, hopes to start testing its autonomous semis by the end of 2026 or the start of 2027, with the company first having to collect data on the routes its trucks will take.

Autonomous Industrial Trucks: Automation as a Growth Booster in Established Structures Where there is a will, there is a way, as the saying goes. The truth in this adage is demonstrated by the example of ABS Safety GmbH. With the firm intent to produce high-quality and reliable fall protection systems for the roofing trade, Ludwig and Ingrid Beckers founded the company in their home basement in 2003. In the following years, this "start-up" experienced an impressive rise. As of today, ABS Safety employs over 200 people and is considered a top name in the fields of fall protection, climbing technology, and more. The company showed the same zeal when a comprehensive expansion of logistics became necessary at the current headquarters in Kevelaer. "The new automated warehouse with 40 autonomous robots was to be developed in a former greenhouse facility; an unusual project - and thus typical for our company ABS Safety," states Managing Director Kai Brendel. The company is growing – and the logistics must follow suit From the beginning: Since 2006, ABS Safety has been developing and manufacturing not far from the German-Dutch border. "In 2015, we more than doubled our storage and production capacities with a new building," reports Managing Director Brendel. However, the enormous growth of the company required more space shortly thereafter. "Fortunately, we were able to acquire an existing property that is strategically well-located between production and shipping." The catch: it was a former nursery with relatively flat greenhouses on a very expansive area. Not exactly ideal conditions for logistical realignment. "At that time, we calculated back and forth whether demolition and new construction would be more economical," the managing director recalls. Eventually, they finally turned to the topic of automation. ```Brendel: "For us as an innovation-driven company, this was very appealing since the technology

[Stay on top of transportation news: Get TTNews in your inbox.] Windrose Eyes 1,000-KM Class 8 Battery-Electric Truck by 2030 Startup OEM Wins 20 More Orders as First US Delivery Beats Schedule Staff Reporter Key Takeaways: - Windrose expects its R700 electric tractor to exceed 1,000 kilometers of range by 2030 through larger battery packs and charging advances. - U.S. deliveries began April 1, with more than 100 committed orders scheduled for delivery within six months. - Production is underway in China, with European manufacturing and assembly plants also under development. Windrose Technology expects by 2030 to be producing battery-electric trucks with a range of more than 1,000 kilometers, about 1½ times the range of the startup Class 8 tractor manufacturer’s biggest current rig. The R700 tractor is available in two configurations: a short-range tractor with a 436-kilowatt-hour battery pack capable of 200-250 miles, and a long-range semi with a 730-kWh battery pack capable of 400-450 miles. Generation 2 R700s are spec’d with a 670 km- or 416-mile range, but Generation 3 models will have a range of 805 km or 507 miles in 2028, and Generation 4 models will be capable of exceeding 1,000 km or 621 miles in 2030, Windrose said in an April 6 social media post. The increase in range will be the result of the truck’s battery size jumping to 811 kWh for Generation 3 models and more than 960 kWh for Generation 4 models, the company added in a road map. In addition, Windrose expects charging capabilities to have expanded beyond the Megawatt Charging System (MCS) by the time Generation 4 models are released, the road map showed. MCS has yet to see widespread deployment for battery-electric trucks but will be one of the foundations of the range and refueling credentials of Windrose’s fellow

Kodiak expands autonomous trucking into Midwest with Ohio pilot Kodiak AI has completed an autonomous trucking program in Ohio, marking its first operational deployment outside the Southern United States and extending driverless operations into a key Midwest freight corridor. The program, conducted in partnership with DriveOhio, included on-road demonstrations along Interstate 70 as well as controlled testing at the Transportation Research Center in East Liberty, Ohio. The effort also involved the Ohio Department of Transportation and the Indiana Department of Transportation. The company says the pilot represents an expansion of its operational design domain beyond the Sunbelt, where most autonomous trucking deployments have been concentrated due to more predictable weather and road conditions. The Ohio initiative brought together transportation officials, policymakers and industry stakeholders from Ohio and Indiana to observe driverless longhaul operations and discuss deployment, safety and regulatory considerations. Kodiak also demonstrated its Level 4 autonomous capabilities in a series of real-world scenarios, including navigating construction zones, merging onto highways, passing slower vehicles and responding to disabled vehicles and pedestrians. Additional demonstrations were held for first responders at the Indiana Department of Transportation’s traffic management center in Indianapolis. “Our work with DriveOhio marks an important step toward scaling autonomous trucking nationwide,” said Don Burnette, founder and CEO of Kodiak. “This program highlights not only the maturity of our technology, but also its ability to operate safely and effectively beyond the sunbelt, in new environments that are critical to the U.S. supply chain.” Have your say This is a moderated forum.

- Applied Intuition hosted a Physical AI day highlighting its ambitions and challenges. - Marc Andreessen said that the "practical reality of existing in the world" is a challenge for AI. - Applied Intuition is making a lofty pitch to automate mining and logistics. A Bay Area startup company wants AI to leave the chat and run the physical world. Applied Intuition, a Silicon Valley software company that develops autonomous systems, hosted Physical AI Day last week to demonstrate the potential of automating mines, farms, and trucks. Unlike an AI agent that lives entirely online, Applied Intuition is adding its software to existing machinery that has to navigate the real world. The challenge? The machines need to operate in environments with high levels of uncertainty, such as hundreds of miles of freeway, a growing field or crops, or an underground mining site. Marc Andreessen, general partner at Andreessen Horowitz and an early backer of Applied Intuition, spoke at Physical AI Day and talked about both the potential and pitfalls of the technology as companies try to bring bits to atoms. In conversation with CEO Qasar Younis and CTO Peter Ludwig, Andreessen said the AI revolution comes in two waves: "the virtual wave and the physical wave." "The virtual wave is much easier to explain — you only need the keyboard," Andreessen said. "But the world is built for physical experience for people. How do you build a humanoid to fit into that environment?" Andreessen said he once bought his child a robot dog made by a Chinese company, only to realize that it weighed 150 pounds, needed to be held up by a rack when idle, and was simply not safe for children should it fall over. "The practical reality of existing in the world is a completely different thing,"
