DRIVERLESS SEMI-TRUCKS ARE COMING SOON TO A HIGHWAY IN TEXAS

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Aurora Innovation plans to unleash driverless trucks on a 200-mile stretch of Interstate 45 between Dallas and Houston by the end of the month. The company has been testing its vehicles in closed and virtual environments. It was denied an exemption request from a federal regulation that stipulates that truck drivers must deploy roadside warning devices whenever they're stopped on the side of the road. This prompted Aurora to sue the Motor Carrier Safety Administration, as the company doesn't have human operators to physically deploy the necessary devices.
