Self-Driving Truck Completes 950-Mile Trip 10 Hours Faster Than Human Driver

TuSimple, a transportation company focusing on driverless tech for trucks, recently transported a load of products with its autonomous truck systems.


The road to fully autonomous trucks is a long and winding one, but it’s not an impossible one, and it seems to be in closer reach than fully self-driving cars.

The company in charge of the feat was TuSimple, a transportation company focusing on driverless tech for trucks. Eighty percent of the journey, or 950 miles (1,528 km), was driven by the autonomous system, with a human at the wheel for the other 20 percent of the cross-country trip, and at-the-ready to take over the wheel if anything faulted with the technology.
