A company called TuSimple is quickly transforming the prospect of driverless, computer-controlled big-rig trucking from a crazy idea into an amazing new breakthrough. Just recently, a big rig equipped with TuSimple’s technology made a driverless trip from Tucson to Phoenix – and not just on the highway. The truck navigated on-ramps, off-ramps, traffic lights, and more as it drove from one warehouse site to another. See for yourself (check out the driver in the other truck at 2:25 who stops dead in the intersection after the truck with no driver turned in front of his). |
