Technology firm TuSimple this week completed testing of its driverless semitruck in Arizona.
The company said on Wednesday that the truck successfully accomplished an 80-mile route on public roads, according to The Associated Press.
The truck, which was led and flanked by vehicles prepared to step in if necessary, began its trip at a railyard in Tucson and traveled all the way to a Phoenix distribution center. TuSimple told the AP that the semi was able to navigate lane changes, off ramps and traffic signals without issue, “naturally interacting with other motorists.”
