• Recording a "first" for Europe late last year when its technology enabled commercial goods to be transported approximately 300 kilometers in regular traffic conditions using its autonomous driving system.

Cheng adds, "This is an important moment for TuSimple and its employees and an opportunity to celebrate our achievements. While we have a lot to be proud of, we're always focused on what comes next. TuSimple is excited to continue hitting even more milestones through the advancement of our autonomous driving technology."
