Autonomous trucking startup TuSimple gets a million-square-foot facility at AllianceTexas

Real estate developer Hillwood is making a large bet on autonomous trucking taking off.

Global autonomous driving tech company TuSimple is getting a 1-million-square-foot facility at Hillwood’s 27,000-acre AllianceTexas development in North Fort Worth. It will have launch pads and landing pads for autonomous trucks that use TuSimple’s Autonomous Driving System.

TuSimple trucks drive on their own, but for now, a safety driver and test engineer sit in the vehicles, according to the company. On Dec. 22, the company completed its first fully autonomous semi-truck run on public roads without anyone inside on an 80-mile trip from Tucson to Phoenix.
