![]() ![]() Road tests and video-game-like testing are speeding development. This technology isn’t fully proven yet, but every truck taking off in autonomous mode from the Tucson depot makes the system that much smarter. The plan is to have self-driving trucks haul goods long-distance between depots on the outskirts of big metros, and then transfer the cargo to smaller, manned trucks for local delivery. TuSimple also hopes to benefit from the relatively easier challenge of navigating interstates rather than crowded city streets. Autonomous trucking looks like it could become a commercial success earlier, propelled by a driver shortage that the American Trucking Associations puts at 60,000 a year for semi drivers. But most self-driving car programs are still experiments, at least five years out from being sustainable businesses. Dozens of tech giants, startups and global auto players are jostling to catch up to Waymo. If he’s right, TuSimple will be early to profit from the autonomous-driving boom. He’s convinced it will set TuSimple apart from even Waymo. ![]() Along with his vision system, Hou has created software designed exclusively to drive big trucks, not cars, by using deep learning-a cutting-edge field that trains machines to recognize objects and figure out their own responses. ![]()
