Are there self-driving semi-trucks?

I’ve heard a lot about self-driving car companies like Tesla, but what about trucks? Are there self-driving semi-trucks too?

Just like self-driving cars, tech companies are working towards getting self-driving semi-trucks on the road. In fact, autonomous trucks have already been tested on highways in Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico—although the test runs did include a human driver in the cab, just in case something went wrong.
It may not be long before you actually spot an unmanned 18-wheeler on the freeway since industry-leader TuSimple has set 2024 as a target for beginning factory production of their autonomous trucks. Other tech companies like Waymo, Aurora, and Plus are also developing self-driving semi-trucks.
