Texas is becoming the Wild West of driverless truck testing, with numerous companies looking to fill the highways with unmanned 45,000-pound trucks near your comparatively tiny manned car. It means that one day if you're driving down the road, and make that "Pull the horn" motion to the truck driver, there may not be anyone there to honk. The trucks are just beginning to permeate the highways. Aurora Trucking hauls freight via carrier Hirschbach for Driscoll's (the berry company) in Laredo, as well as frac sand for Detmar Logistics in the Permian Basin. Kodiak AI, a rival, hauls for J.B. Hunt and Werner Enterprises from a Texas hub. And Houston-based Bot Auto partners with logistics providers like Ryan Transportation on overnight routes between Houston and the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. But why have all these robot trucks descended on Texas of all states? The answer is similar to the reasons that bring many humans here as well. "Texas moves more freight than any other state in the U.S.," Gerardo Interiano, SVP of Government Relations and Public Affairs at Aurora, told Chron. "It's also strategically located-Fort Worth to El Paso represents the middle leg of one of the busiest commercial routes for the trucking industry: Atlanta to Los Angeles." This is not to mention that the environment-both in terms of the weather and the regulatory one-is rather friendly to such companies. The autonomous Aurora trucks aren't exactly spitballing it. They use a combination of FirstLight lidar, radar, and cameras to create 3D, real-time maps of their surroundings, with the newer lidar sensors able to see twice as far as usual, more than 450 meters down the road. It's all integrated into an onboard computer with redundant backup systems that can apparently monitor itself for issues. So hopefully no blue screens of death
Japanese company T2 has taken a significant step in the development of autonomous transport. Its Level 2 self-driving truck has, for the first time in the country’s history, independently traveled approximately 500 kilometers along a highway between the Kanto and Kansai regions — without the driver ever needing to take the wheel. What T2’s Achievement Represents The route ran from the Ayase Smart IC interchange on the Tomei Expressway to Kobe Nishi IC on the Sanyo Expressway. The total distance covered was approximately 500 kilometers, making this the longest autonomous Level 2 freight run in Japan’s history. Notably, during the test the vehicle independently changed lanes and adjusted its speed according to road conditions. What the Different Levels of Autonomy Mean Before discussing the technology, it is worth clarifying the classification: - Level 2 — the system controls the vehicle under certain conditions, but under constant driver supervision - Level 4 — the system takes full control of all operations within a predefined zone without any human involvement Achieving Level 4 is precisely the ultimate goal of T2. Commercial operations in this mode are planned to begin in fiscal year 2027. Key Next-Generation Technologies The main challenge in transitioning to Level 4 had been handling non-standard road situations. Previously, when encountering roadworks or merging traffic, the driver had to manually take over control. This problem has now been solved through three new developments: - onboard sensors detecting barriers and roadwork signs, enabling timely lane changes in advance; - automatic reading of speed limit signs and smooth adjustment of driving mode; - improved handling on inclined road sections with maintained lane stability. The Company’s Next Steps T2’s specialists have no intention of resting on their laurels. The company’s near-term plans include establishing dedicated transfer hubs near the Ayase Smart IC and

America’s Fastest Highway Americans are known for often treating speed limits as suggestions. While many factors influence this, there is one stretch of road that literally encourages drivers to step on the gas. This is Texas State Highway 130, the only road in the U.S. where it is legal to reach 85 mph. It is also becoming increasingly attractive to companies testing autonomous freight transportation. Speed limits are outdated, and we all know it. The Perfect Proving Ground for Innovation This little-known 41-mile toll road runs between Austin and Seguin. The 85 mph limit was set back in 2012. Safety advocates, who often blame speed for accidents, are unlikely to find data confirming problems on SH-130. On the contrary, thanks to the high permitted speed and lower traffic, it has turned into an ideal testing ground for autonomous vehicles. According to data, the SH 130 Concession Company, which manages the highway, is working on creating a next-generation modern rest area, “designed to serve autonomous trucks with powerful EV charging stations and specific docking requirements.” Companies such as Einride, Aurora Innovation, and Waymo are already operating autonomous vehicles or plan to do so in the near future. Permits for Autonomous Trucks The state DMV will begin accepting applications for commercial authorization for automated vehicles in May of this year. This is a key moment, as it’s not about trucks where a driver must be ready to take over. These are autonomy levels 4 and 5, where a human can fully rely on the technology. Reality and Prospects This doesn’t necessarily mean your next trip on TX-130 will be among columns of driverless trucks speeding at 85 mph. Most companies still work with safety drivers in the cab, and fully driverless freight transport remains limited. However, the unique speed limit gives this

- Texas 130 is America’s only highway with an 85 mph speed limit. - Autonomous trucking companies are increasingly eyeing the corridor. - Its high speeds and lighter traffic make it an attractive test route. Americans have a reputation for treating speed limits like suggestions. Sure, that’s probably due to several factors outside of their control, but at least one stretch of road encourages them to put their foot down a little more. That’s Texas State Highway 130, the only road in America where drivers can legally go 85 mph (137 km/h). It’s also one of the most attractive sections of road for autonomous trucking companies. More: Speed Limits Are Outdated, And We All Know It The obscure toll road is a 41-mile section of pavement between Austin and Seguin. The 85 mph limit showed up all the way back in 2012. Safety advocates who cite speed as the boogie man would struggle to find data proving that it’s created a problem on SH-130, though. Instead, it’s become what many autonomous vehicle companies see as a prime test bed thanks to its higher speeds and lower traffic. According to Kavout, the SH 130 Concession Company, the entity overseeing SH 130, is working on a next-gen rest stop “designed to manage autonomous trucks with high-capacity EV charging and specialized docking requirements.” Einride, Aurora Innovation, Waymo, and others are already operating autonomous vehicles or planning to in the near future. Autonomous Truck Permits Open The state DMV will begin accepting applications for commercial automated vehicle authorization in May of this year. That’s key because we’re not talking about trucks that require a human driver ready to take over. We’re talking about Level 4 and Level 5 autonomy, where humans can sit back and relax. That doesn’t necessarily mean your next drive on
Hope everyone is having a happy and safe Easter Sunday! April is widely recognized for several notable observances: April Fool’s Day, Tax Day, Earth Day, Autism Awareness, Stress Awareness, Sexual Assault Awareness/Prevention and National Volunteer Month. Over the course of the next few weeks, I hope to cover several of these topics. In honor of National Volunteer Month, I would like to highlight the importance of volunteers. Volunteers can assist charities in so many ways. They can help at special events with setting up, registration, selling tickets, providing information, greeting people at the door, guiding people with questions, reassurance, cleaning up, passing out waters. The ways to make a difference are endless. The fact is volunteers help our community thrive. Advertisement Article continues below this ad Most charities exist because of volunteers. For some reason a person feels called to action for a cause that has touched their life. Many times, it is because of a difficult situation in their life that a person dedicates their time and energy to help others in need. In 1977, a young girl was involved in a tragic accident. Due to the extent of her injuries, she was flown to San Antonio, Texas. After succumbing to her injuries, the family decided to give the gift of life and hope to others by donating her organs. Touched by the profound significance, it ignited a spark in the hearts of two determined women, Angela Borders and Patsy Sanditen. They saw a need, a gaping void in the community’s support system for transplant patients, and they resolved to make a difference. Blanca Villarreal, volunteer board member and grant writer for the organization shared, “The Kidney Foundation of Laredo was born from the spark of hope by Mrs. Borchers and Ms. Sanditen. In those early days of the
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Game of the year? This wasn’t even the game of the night. Michigan overpowered Arizona early and humbled the ’Cats for 40 long minutes Saturday, turning their highly anticipated Final Four matchup into a 91-73 Wolverines dunkfest-slash-highlight reel. Advertisement Article continues below this ad Junior center Aday Mara scored a career-high 26 points and grabbed nine rebounds. About the only question in this one concerned the health of Wolverines forward Yaxel Lendeborg, a first-team All-American who landed on an Arizona player's foot, rolled his ankle and sprained his knee, but still had 11 points over 14 minutes. He vowed he'd be ready for Monday's title matchup against UConn, a 71-62 winner over Illinois in the early semifinal that was billed — wrongly — as the undercard to this battle of No. 1 seeds. “It’s going to take a full 40 minutes of fighting,” Lendeborg said. This one was over in about five. Advertisement Article continues below this ad The Blue blew through their fifth straight March Madness opponent by double digits while becoming the first team to break 90 points five times in a single tournament. It was all quite a shock, considering Michigan and Arizona came in with the nation’s top two defenses, a pair of top-five offenses and somewhere between eight and a dozen NBA stars between them. But it was the Wolverines (36-3) who looked like pros, running to a double-digit lead only 5:31 into the contest, then swatting (three blocks) and slamming (nine dunks) Arizona into oblivion. “These guys have such, I guess, extensive background in playing high-profile basketball games,” said Michigan coach Dusty May, who was spotted at courtside earlier in the evening, scouting UConn-Illinois for a Monday night game he sensed he'd be part of. “We just felt like we are

The world's first-ever autonomous mine transportation system officially entered service 2025, with 100 Huaneng Ruichi electric mining trucks deployed at the Yimin open-pit coal mine in Inner Mongolia, China. The goal? Making mining more efficient and safe. The project is a partnership between China Huaneng Group Co., Ltd., Xuzhou Construction Machinery Group Ltd., Huawei, and State Grid Smart Internet of Vehicles Co., Ltd., looking to implement a zero-carbon, autonomous, and vehicle-cloud-network synergized mining operation — with zero humans. It has taken a few years for the autonomous mine transportation system to take shape. The trials began back in 2020, using modified diesel trucks. In just four years, the nine autonomous trucks had already achieved 120% of human productivity, moving 1.3 million cubic meters of earth. The first official expedition of the Huaneng Ruichi fleet has set three records for autonomous electric mining trucks. These include the world's largest payload, the fastest running speed, and the lowest operating temperature. Each electric autonomous truck can carry 180,000 pounds and operate at minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit.

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump warned Iran to open the crucial Strait of Hormuz by his Monday deadline and Tehran called his threat “unbalanced and foolish." The search for a missing U.S. military pilot continued Saturday in a remote part of the Islamic Republic. Trump has called Tehran “beaten and completely decimated " in the war, now in its sixth week, but the downing of two U.S. warplanes on Friday and Iran’s call to find the “enemy pilot” have again raised the stakes.

The war began with joint U.S.-Israel strikes on Feb. 28 and has killed thousands, shaken global markets, cut off key shipping routes and spiked fuel prices. Both sides have threatened, and hit, civilian targets, bringing warnings of possible war crimes. “We will continue to crush them,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, and confirmed that Israel's military struck a petrochemical complex in Mahshahr that he said helps to fund the war.

Autonomous trucks are running daily freight routes out of Laredo along the I-35 corridor as part of a pilot program announced by International Motors and logistics company Ryder. The pilot places factory-built autonomous trucks into active freight operations, allowing them to evaluate performance in real-world conditions instead of controlled testing environments. Advertisement Article continues below this ad The roughly 600-mile route between Laredo and Temple follows one of the busiest trade corridors in Texas and serves as a key artery for cross-border commerce. That corridor feeds directly into Port Laredo, the nation’s top-ranked port for total trade. Laredo, the nation’s busiest inland port, handles hundreds of billions of dollars in trade each year, much of it moving north along Interstate 35. That volume and consistency have made the region a focal point for logistics investment and testing. Those conditions — high traffic, established infrastructure and long, predictable routes — make corridors like Laredo to Temple a practical testing ground for autonomous trucking systems. Within that environment, trucks on the route handle about 92% of the driving using a system powered by artificial intelligence, cameras, radar and lidar sensors, with autonomous driving software developed by PlusAI. Advertisement Article continues below this ad A human safety driver remains in the cab at all times to monitor the vehicle and take control if needed. “Operating an autonomous vehicle in an active logistics network allows us to validate the technology where it matters most — on a real lane, moving real freight, for a real customer,” said Seth deVlugt, senior director of RyderVentures and new product strategy at Ryder. Unlike earlier testing models, however, the trucks operate using existing Ryder facilities without dedicated autonomous terminals and focus on point-to-point freight movement between established locations rather than closed-loop or isolated test routes. “We’re focused on
Un courageux client pourchasse un cambrioleur Au magasin Noz à Noidans, vers 11h45, un voleur est tombé sur un os. La scène s'est déroulée ce lundi 1er mars avant midi, au magasin Noz situé rue des Saules à Noidans-lès-Vesoul. Alors qu'un client s'apprêtait à entrer dans la boutique, un homme en sortait précipitamment avec à ses trousses, deux employés. Bien décidé à leur échapper, il a alors pris la fuite, avec dans ses bras un tas d'habits. Témoin de la scène, le client a aussitôt sauté dans sa voiture pour le pourchasser. Agriculteur de profession, le justicier anonyme, l'a poursuivi jusqu'au rond-point de Leclerc Express. Déterminé, il n'a pas lâché l'affaire et a découvert le voleur assis et essoufflé derrière le magasin. Pas du genre manchot, le quadragénaire l'a maîtrisé dans un corps à corps musclé, avant l'arrivée du vendeur de chez Noz qui lui aussi était à ses trousses. Le malfrat a été raccompagné jusqu'au magasin où la police l'attendait. Il s'agit d'un homme d'une trentaine d'années qui a expliqué son geste car, "il avait faim". Quant au héros du jour, qui a déjà été cambriolé par le passé dans son exploitation agricole, il a reconnu agir "sans réfléchir". "J'étais en colère quand j'ai compris ce qui se passait", a-t-il confié. L'histoire ne dit pas si le magasin Noz lui a offert un bon d'achat. 0 commentaires
Self-driving vehicles have been a hot topic lately, especially in Texas. We’ve seen several instances of Waymo vehicles running rampant, and a few others involving the famous Tesla brand. However, it seems Texans have not seen the last of them, as more self-driving semi trucks from different brands will take over the state’s highways. Naturally, this has concerned several citizens, as some of these vehicles don’t have the best reputation when on the roads. Today, Express-News shared an article on the Texas subreddit discussing how citizens should expect to see dozens of self-driving semi-trucks by next year, as more than one company is setting its sights on the state to deploy them. The article focuses mainly on Einride’s arrival in Texas, where it began deploying several of these semi-trucks across Austin and San Antonio. However, it also mentions Tesla’s plans to bring even more self-driving vehicles to the state. According to the article, citizens should see dozens of Tesla semi-trucks on highways next year. At the same time, it seems that several other companies of these autonomous vehicles are eyeing the state as a testing ground, which has caused a bit of a commotion among its citizens. Texas Citizens Concerned About the Influx of Self-Driving Vehicles After reading the news, most Redditors in the state share similar thoughts about the arrival of so many self-driving vehicles, especially since most of these semi-trucks will be invading their highways in the near future. “I can’t wait to get hurt by a robot and sue…a computer?“ “Can’t wait to see the robot trucks get into standoffs on the road. I see those self-driving cars do it somewhat often.” A few other Redditors blamed the state, saying it’s been too lenient in welcoming these brands, when, allegedly, the majority of the population is against
