UPS invests in TuSimple self-driving trucks

[Mike M]

I wonder how this 3 phase roll out will affect the contract, particularly for part time hub workers.

The company is expanding existing shipments with UPS, which has also invested in TuSimple, and the foodservice delivery giant McLane.

TuSimple’s trucks are (eventually) meant to operate without humans; they will be trained on mapped routes, but the goal is to autonomously navigate traffic— and other surprises — on the roads
