![]() ![]() Manually driven trucks were fitted with the same data-recording technology. Researchers fitted TuSimple Level-4 autonomous trucks with “black box technology” to extract driving data over a six-month period that included 122 autonomous missions totaling nearly 6,700 miles. “We wanted to address how the introduction of autonomy impacts fuel consumption and the environment, and in every case, TuSimple’s autonomous mode performed better than the manual mode in terms of efficiency,” Henrik Christensen, director of Robotics and Professor at UC San Diego who led the study, said in a statement. ![]() ![]() Results of a new study from the University of California San Diego’s Jacobs School of Engineering and TuSimple show that the San Diego-based company’s autonomous technology reduces fuel consumption of heavy-duty trucks by at least 10%. You can now add significant fuel savings to the list.
