Self-driving tech outfit TuSimple faces probe after one of its big rigs collides with guardrail

The San Diego company blames human error for the mishap and is cooperating with federal safety regulators

San Diego’s TuSimple Holdings, which is developing self-driving technology for semi-trucks, faces a regulatory probe following an April 6 crash in which one of its big rigs suddenly swerved on Interstate 10 near Tucson, Ariz. and sideswiped the concrete center median.

Financial analysts on Tuesday wanted to know more about the company’s safety protocols, the status of the investigation and whether the incident might slow adoption of the company’s autonomous driving technology. The company expects the technology to begin showing up commercially in new big rigs in 2024.

While several firms are working on self-driving technology, TuSimple has been a leader in semi-trucks. It claims to have logged 8.1 million test miles over the past seven years. It also has achieved multiple driver-out driverless test runs — known as Level 4 autonomy — in big rigs along an 80-mile, pre-mapped route between Tucson and Phoenix. Safety vehicles and law enforcement took part in these driverless tests.
