TuSimple completed the fourth driver-out operations of a commercial Class 8 run on open public roads. Our specially outfitted semi-truck navigated surface streets, highways, traffic signals, on-ramps, off-ramps, emergency lane vehicles and lane changes while interacting naturally with other motorists. The 80 mile trip between freight terminals in the Tucson and Phoenix areas was completed in approximately 1 hour 20 mins.
