Autonomous semi-trucks have been driving along I-10 for months and no one noticed

A video posted to TuSimple’s YouTube page shows one of its trucks driving in heavy rain in Tucson in October 2018.

Tech startup TuSimple has been carrying mail in autonomous semi-trucks between Phoenix and Tucson for “several weeks” with little fanfare.

Since May the autonomous trucks have been making the 115 mile journey on Interstate 10. On Aug. 15, UPS’s venture capital arm announced it was making an investment in the company, tech news website Gizmodo reported yesterday. 

TuSimple and UPS are testing what is called “Level 4” autonomous technology, meaning that the truck’s on-board computer is in control during the entire drive.
