Self-Driving US Mail Trucks
US Mail Tests Autonomous Truck Deliveries
Autonomous Mail Delivery
The US Postal Service has started a two week test, driving mail across three southwestern states using self-driving trucks. This is a big move forward to commercialize the use of autonomous vehicle technology to haul freight long distances.
TuSimple Startup Autonomous Trucks
A San Diego startup TuSimple is deploying its self-driving trucks for the mail hauling tests. The route is between Phoenix and Dallas. The test is to see if the system improves delivery times and costs. A human safety driver is behind the wheel to intervene if necessary and an engineer is riding in the passenger seat.
Future of Autonomous Freight
This test is about the future class of autonomous vehicles hauling freight long distances and the potential of new technologies. The pilot program involves five round trips each at 2100 miles and 45 hours of driving.
