There's a shortage of truckers, but TuSimple thinks it has a solution: no driver needed]
Right now, there's a shortage of truck drivers in the US and worldwide, exacerbated by the e-commerce boom brought on by the pandemic. One solution to the problem is autonomous trucks, and several companies are in a race to be the first to launch one. Among them is San Diego-based TuSimple.
Founded in 2015, TuSimple has completed about 2 million miles of road tests with its 70 prototype trucks across the US, China and Europe. Although these are simply commercially available trucks retrofitted with its technology, TuSimple has deals in place with two of the world's largest truck manufacturers -- Navistar in the US and Traton, Volkswagen's trucking business, in Europe -- to design and build fully autonomous models, which it hopes to launch by 2024.

Experience after Practicing Vocabulary:
My experience after practicing the vocabulary that I found in the news for a few days is that I find it difficult to apply it, because some of the vocabulary is very foreign to me and the meaning is quite difficult. But from there I can continue to learn to be able to understand the vocabulary and apply it in everyday life. I find a lot of vocabulary in the news that I read. After practicing vocabulary I also feel happy because it can add new knowledge and make me more excited to learn English, especially to speak english. Practicing vocabulary in everyday life is an effective way for me to learn English.
