dpa/picture alliance via Getty Imageswith no human in the cab last year, says freight rail giant Union Pacific will be the first customer to use its automated trucking service to haul cargo in Arizona.
Though TuSimple is still at least a year away from generating meaningful revenue, the company is moving quickly to shore up a leading position in the emerging market for robotic trucks, trying to stay ahead of competitors including Alphabet Inc.’s Waymo, Aurora and Embark.

“Partnering with TuSimple allows us to extend our operations beyond our rail hubs and serve our customers faster and more efficiently,” Kenny Rocker, a Union Pacific executive vice president, said in a statement. “This groundbreaking autonomous driving technology and our partnership provide us a significant opportunity to scale the technology in our network, proactively reducing global supply chain congestion.
