Autonomous trucking startup Bot Auto announced that it intends to begin its first driver-out commercial freight operations this year with a pilot program in Texas.

A Texas Business Court judge rejected TuSimple’s request for a restraining order and injunctions against the onetime autonomous trucking pioneer’s founder and his latest venture.

The Delaware Chancery Court ruled that TuSimple co-founder and former CEO Xiaodi Hou’s challenge to board selections and governance changes had enough merit to win the court’s time.

TuSimple co-founder and former CEO Xiaodi Hou, who claims to be the company’s largest shareholder, is also seeking judicial aid in an increasingly bitter spat with former colleague Mo Chen.

His new venture — Bot Auto — will operate its own autonomous truck fleet and offer Transportation-as-a-Service to freight customers.

Self-driving truck technology provider TuSimple plans to lay off about 150 employees immediately, or 75% of the company’s U.S. workforce, and begin a wind-down of U.S. operations.

Self-driving truck developer TuSimple Holdings says it won’t be able to file its second-quarter 2023 financial report on time to meet a deadline imposed by the Nasdaq Stock Market.

TuSimple is exploring strategic alternatives for its U.S. operations, including a sale, which would see the self-driving truck technology provider focus on Asia-Pacific activities.

TuSimple Holdings has begun Level 4 autonomous test runs on a major freight corridor in Japan, the autonomous driving technology company announced June 6.

Self-driving truck company TuSimple Holdings has disclosed more details about plans to reduce its workforce by 30% — including that it will eliminate 151 jobs in San Diego.
