How The Tesla Semi Compares With TuSimple

[@anony88]

As a former trucker, I will say that the driver shortage is largely due to trucking companies not paying fair wages. Trucking used to pay more when you take into account inflation. There are other reasons why drivers are quitting too. Poor treatment from their company, their companies refusing to fix truck issues and are giving them broken trucks/trailers, shippers and receivers often treat drivers like absolute dog shit, there's a massive truck parking shortage on an epic scale where in much of the country if you can't find a parking spot by 6pm you're kinda fucked. The department of transportation also often treats drivers like shit for no reason. Not all of them but still. For years I've been hearing about a driver shortage, yet if you keep an eye on indeed, trucking pay isn't really increasing. It's pay is rising 90% as fast as the cost of living whereas most jobs are raising wages like 80% as fast as the cost of living. It's still not good. Drivers are finally waking up to this bs and saying enough.

[@stevenirby5576]

Yup, if you doubled the pay overnight, I guarantee there'd be zero shortage. It always comes down to the dollars and cents.

[@gordongekko3174]

so i feel for the truckers, however the corporations are wanting self driving trucks so that they dont have to rely on humans, what i would suggest to all truck drivers is to adapt else somwhere down the line they will be unemployed

[@MatthewStinar]

An unwillingness to pay workers and treat them humanely isn't a worker shortage. But self driving trucks do sound like a great way to prevent human error. Humans have really set the bar for driving awfully low.

[@neerajchavan9572]

[@andrewheng5176]

Legal hurdles, not just from truckers being up in arms about losing their livelihoods, but also simply it being a Chinese backed company. They will run into so much red tape that even if they can fine tune the tech, they will not get the green light for commercialization

[@leagueofotters2774]

Yep, Tusimple is being sued by their investors and is also being investigated by the Feds for the way they have reported their chinese connections.....i guess this whole thing was't "too simple"

As truck driver who almost jack kinfed today because as a human it's easy to get into a rhythm only to find the rhythm being cut short you have to step on the brakes like hotcakes. It happened to me today I wish I had this thing so that I can have an advantage. Not to mention the blind spot is something of a big deal many people die because of that when you're passing a truck you have two mirrors there's a big blind side so many people died because of that because when you switch someone is driving a tiny tiny car they tend to flip over I pancakes so we need this bad we're just human and let's just say that we're all distracted nowadays we need all the help you get that goes for all drivers not just truck drivers

[@theodorehaskins3756]

As a point of information for those watching this video, this isn’t about trucking, this about a technology company & they’re going to supply the technology to enable these big rigs to transform into a smart truck that can navigate autonomously the nations highways & they are now in the proving phase of their technology & it will be up to each individual state in the US to agree that this is something that should be allowed & I don’t see how you say no if the technology proves out to be safer than humans or at least as safe as human drivers, which isn’t a very high bar in my opinion! So unlike Tesla who intends to control the entire operation from its concept to manufacture & production to the actual technology that will permit autonomous trucks to navigate the roads and highways of the nation & in fact the world, as their number one priority is the transitioning of the world to a sustainable energy solution, so they have a broader mission then say TuSimple past and they have tons of data already to formulate into a solution and if not TuSimple or Tesla then who, because this horse has left the barn and this Genie will not be put back in for a bottle, so technology is not subject to the whims of one company or one country as technology is being driven by a global competition and if a US based company doesn’t lead the way, then some other company in some other country will do it & that’s my take! Cheers & welcome to the new year!

[@connecticutaggie]

Electric trucks are not yet ideal for long haul trucking (the primary market TuSimple is aiming at). Where a Diesel truck can do 2100 miles without a fill-up, a Tesla Semi has a 500 mile max for its largest version. So, Tesla and TuSimple will not be competitors (yet). I expect Tesla will target regional trucking where TuSimple targets long haul trucking.

How is this Level 4? No way. Level 1 -- Hands On Level 2 -- Hands Off Level 3 -- Eyes Off Level 4 -- Mind Off Level 5 -- Steering Off At Level 4...no driver attention is ever needed. I think it's hard to get to level 4 without geofencing. Tesla is like a level 2- 3. Waymo with geofencing does level 4 . That is full self driving in specific locations

[@billgreen576]

Yes a truck barrelling along at speed could cause a lot of damage. However as you pointed out at the beginning 95% of truck accidents are caused by human error. Take that human out of the equation and trucking accidents almost cease. Especially on long distance hub2hub trucking. The thing most humans say they don't want to do anyway.

[@devilzwishbone]

Let's not forget there multiple ways to deal with the same problem and sometimes different ways carry different risks, it depents on how rigid the system is for handling that problem, meaning that whilst the human driver is removed from the cockpit, that doesnt not mean a human isnt still in the cockpit so to speak as the computer is following instructions coded by a human, menaing the human error is not completely eliminated

[@peoplez129]

To be honest, we need to get big trucks off the roads entirely. Why? Because most of the wear and tear on modern roads comes from heavy transport vehicles. If they weren't on the roads, we would have to repair and replace roads far less often, lasting 100-200 years if only normal vehicles were allowed. This is one secret they don't want you to know, because roads are a huge cost burden on cities, and they don't want to be shown as the true cause of crumbling roads. In the long run, we would save trillions of dollars by getting transport vehicles off the roads, along with having safer roads. But it's cheaper for them to offload the damage costs onto the consumer.

I think you guys don't realize how much these guys (making the video) have no idea what they're talking about. It's like a very cheap ad for Tusimple.

Third, it couldn't drive in many weather conditions like storm, snow, and so on. Insurances will in no way be cheaper since we actually have no idea who's gonna be responsible in case of crash. Fourth, what would the truck do if a tire blows up? Well actually there are more problems than that but I'm too lazy to write them down.

You’re ignoring the fact that ice trucks have a far greater cargo capacity than electric trucks, which negates the higher maintenance costs. Dont forget to Factor in charging vs refueling time as well.

[@brunoethier896]

@@hi-gf5yl That would be two very valid points, but since the Tesla Semi has been announced at having the same capacity as a diesel equivalent. The new 4680 battery cell format allows for greater energy density and charging time, so the loading & unloading will remain the bottleneck. Like I said, combustion trucks will only survive if the Tesla semi fails.

[@hi-gf5yl]

@@brunoethier896 even if the tesla semi does have the same load capacity, its range is still an issue. Diesel trucks have a range of 900 miles compared to the semi’s measly 500.

Electric trucks might replace all diesel trucks in the future, but that future is still a ways away.
