The incident was only recently made public after regulators reported the incident. They also reported, “The April incident involved a rig with a TuSimple driver and engineer aboard, and the company has repeatedly blamed the accident on human error.”

According to an internal TuSimple report on the incident obtained by The Wall Street Journal, the semi-tractor truck abruptly veered left because someone in the cab failed to properly reboot the autonomous driving system before engaging it, causing it to execute an outdated command.
