Autonomous Trucking Freight in AZ

What’s happening? After piloting autonomous freight trucking between Phoenix and Tucson, TuSimple of San Diego will begin delivering freight in AZ by partnering with Union Pacific.

Why is this important? Autonomous trucking is one thing they say, but it is the partnership with Union Pacific that shows autonomous trucking can add value to freight delivery system.

How will this be important? “The company expects its operations to be commercially viable on a large scale by the end of 2023, and it has targeted the Texas triangle between Houston, Dallas and San Antonio as one of several areas for expansion.”
