on August 1, 2022, The Wall Street Journal published an article reporting, among other things, that an accident in which one of TuSimple’s self-driving trucks suddenly made a left turn, crossed a freeway, and crashed into a cement barricade, “underscores concerns that the self-driving company is affecting safety on public roads at risk in a rush to bring driverless trucks to market.” While TuSimple reported that the accident was due to a person in the cab improperly restarting the autonomous driving system before turning it on, the researchers argue that “it was the autonomous driving system that turned the wheel and that human error is blamed for the entire accident is misleading.” The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has launched a “Safety Compliance Investigation” into TuSimple.

As a result of this news, TuSimple’s share price fell $0.97 per share, or 9.74%, to close at $8.99 per share on August 1, 2022.
