Mountain West Self-Driving Future brings together leaders throughout the region to advocate for federal policies that will bring safe, reliable autonomous vehicles to more communities.
Mountain West Self-Driving Future is a project of Chamber of Progress.
A strong autonomous vehicle sector in the Mountain West is creating jobs, improving safety, increasing mobility, expanding accessibility, and fighting global warming by reducing emissions. This is the future our organization is working to deliver to more communities by encouraging the federal government to get more autonomous vehicles on the road.
“Nevada has sought to position itself at the forefront of autonomous vehicle testing in recent years. The state cleared Motional to test its fleet without any human drivers present back in 2020, and the company announced a partnership with Lyft to launch fully autonomous ride-hailing in Las Vegas by next year.”
“Autonomous trucking company TuSimple said Wednesday that its vehicles have now driven more than 550 completely autonomous miles on Interstate 10 between Tucson and Phoenix.”
TuSimple will own and operate the 53-foot big rig making the roughly 80-mile trip between the Tucson railyard and a distribution site near Phoenix.
“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,” said Union Pacific, in a statement.
