A Fully Driverless Truck Successfully Completes An 80 Mile Journey From Tucson To Phoenix Using TuSimple’s Autonomous Driving System
The Autonomous Driving System from TuSimple successfully drove an 18-wheeler truck across an 80 mile journey in world’s first ever trip.

An autonomous semitruck recently completed the world’s first driverless trip, which saw the vehicle travel 80 miles in Arizona without a safety person at the wheel or any human intervention.
Elon Musk may get the lion’s share of the headlines with his work on automating his Tesla electric vehicle, but he better watch out because other companies are beating him to the punch with seemingly better technology. A company called TuSimple just accomplished something that no other company has, the world’s first fully autonomous, driverless road trip of a an 18-wheeler all the way from Tucson to Phoenix in Arizona. What does this have to do with the Mark of the Beast? Glad you asked!
“And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.” Revelation 13:16-18 (KJB)
Imagine how great it will be when all vehicles are self-driving, and all you need to do is get inside and sit down. Once the system is perfected you can even take a nap or work on documents on your mobile device, what a blessing. Not so fast. Students of Bible prophecy will immediatly see this as what it is, another giant reach of the One World System to make you a further slave to the global operation. Think about it, any vehicle that is completely autonomous is also a vehicle that can decide to not allow you to get inside and take your journey. Just picture that federal mandates require you to take the COVID vaccine, you decline, and the government sends a message to your fully autonomous vehicle to deny you access. No jab, no journey, and since they control your vehicle, they decide when you can leave and where you can go. That’s what’s coming sooner rather than later. In the meantime, enjoy the ride!
No human was at the wheel or inside truck during its 80-mile journey
FROM THE DAILY MAIL UK: The nighttime drive, which took place on December 22, started at a railyard in Tucson, traveled along 1-10 for one hour and 20 minutes and ended at a distribution center in Phoenix.
Along the journey, TuSimple’s Autonomous Driving System (ADS) successfully navigated surface streets, traffic signals, on-ramps, off-ramps, emergency lane vehicles, and highway lane changes in open traffic while naturally interacting with other motorists, according to the company. Cheng Lu, President, and CEO, TuSimple, said in a statement: ‘By achieving this momentous technical milestone, we demonstrated the advanced capabilities of TuSimple’s autonomous driving system and the commercial maturity of our testing process, prioritizing safety and collaboration every step of the way.
‘This test reinforces what we believe is our unique position at the forefront of autonomous trucking, delivering advanced driving technology at commercial scale.’
‘This year, we were laser-focused on putting our technology through a rigorous test on open public roads under real-world conditions, and to see all our hard work and dedication come together is extremely rewarding.’
TuSimple says that drivers represent about 40 percent of all trucking operational costs and that its virtual driver ‘can be operated for significantly less.’ The company also estimates that its technology saves about 10 percent on fuel-related costs compared to human-driven trucks. During the 80-mile journey, a lead vehicle scouted the route for unexpected obstacles about five miles ahead of the autonomous semi. Another vehicle trailed behind on-half miles that was prepared to intervene if necessary. TuSimple says it has 70 autonomous trucks globally and two million miles of road testing completed.
The truck uses the company’s own perception technology that allows it to see 360 degrees around the vehicle and more than 3,000 feet away. And its system is capable of performing 600 trillion operations per second. Over the last one and a half years, TuSimple has completed 1,800 runs that accumulate to 150,000 miles along I-10 in order to prepare for the truck’s lone journey earlier this month. And the company, plans to continue testing its driver-out program into 2022. READ MORE
World’s First “Driver Out” Fully Autonomous Semi-Truck Operating on Open Public Roads | TuSimple
On December 22nd, TuSimple made history by becoming the first to successfully test a fully autonomous semi-truck on open public roads without a human in the vehicle and without human intervention. The run took place the evening of December 22nd and required TuSimple’s upfitted autonomous semi-truck to begin its journey from a large railyard in Tucson, Arizona, and travel more than 80 miles on surface streets and highways, safely arriving at a high-volume distribution center in the Phoenix metro area. Along the journey, TuSimple’s Autonomous Driving System (ADS) successfully navigated surface streets, traffic signals, on-ramps, off-ramps, emergency lane vehicles, and highway lane changes in open traffic while naturally interacting with other motorists.

Now That Pope Francis Is Dead What Will Become Of His Alliance With Islam And His Work To Bring The LGBTQ Into The Roman Catholic Church?

Pope Francis made his last public appearance on Easter Sunday a day before his death to bless thousands of people in St. Peter’s Square, drawing wild cheers and applause.
Pope Francis bore two titles as he served his 12 years in the Roman Catholic Church, those of Pontifex Maximus and the Holy Father. The first title was that that was given to the Roman emperor Julius Caesar in 63 AD, and the second is actually one of the names for God the Father in John 17. Pope Francis was worshipped by 1.4 billion Catholics, lived as a god but died as a man. The question that everyone wants to answer today is, what will become of the Roman Catholic Church he created? That’s the memo.
“I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.” Psalm 82:6,7 (KJB)
Over the years, NTEB has brought you a plethora of articles and stories on the main work of Pope Francis, and in the many articles we have done on him, two things are more prominent than all the rest. The first being his alliance with Chrislam, his connection to Mohammed bin Zayed and the work done with the Abraham Accords, and the second being the changes made to attempt to bring in the LGBTQ into the Roman church. It’s quite an end times legacy he leaves behind, and we are about to see just what will become of it. I think it’s time for a much younger leader to come on the scene, don’t you?
Pope Francis, first Latin American pontiff dead at 88
FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS: Pope Francis performed the blessing from the same loggia where he was introduced to the world on March 13, 2013 as the 266th pope. From his first greeting that night — a remarkably normal “Buonasera” (“Good evening”) — to his embrace of refugees and the downtrodden, Francis signaled a very different tone for the papacy, stressing humility over hubris for a Catholic Church beset by scandal and accusations of indifference.
After that rainy night, the Argentine-born Jorge Mario Bergoglio brought a breath of fresh air into a 2,000-year-old institution that had seen its influence wane during the troubled tenure of Pope Benedict XVI, whose surprise resignation led to Francis’ election.

But Francis soon invited troubles of his own, and conservatives grew increasingly upset with his progressive bent, outreach to LGBTQ+ Catholics and crackdown on traditionalists. His greatest test came in 2018 when he botched a notorious case of clergy sexual abuse in Chile, and the scandal that festered under his predecessors erupted anew on his watch. And then Francis, the crowd-loving, globe-trotting pope of the peripheries, navigated the unprecedented reality of leading a universal religion through the coronavirus pandemic from a locked-down Vatican City.
Francis was elected on a mandate to reform the Vatican bureaucracy and finances but went further in shaking up the church without changing its core doctrine. “Who am I to judge?” he replied when asked about a purportedly gay priest.
The comment sent a message of welcome to the LGBTQ+ community and those who felt shunned by a church that had stressed sexual propriety over unconditional love. “Being homosexual is not a crime,” he told The Associated Press in 2023, urging an end to civil laws that criminalize it. READ MORE

The Carson City Correctional Facility In Michigan With Its 2,300 Inmates Is In Need Of As Many King James Bibles As We Can Send Them

The Carson City Correctional Center in Michigan has currently 2,300 inmates and a chaplain who needs as many Bibles as we can send them
Carson City Correctional Facility in Michigan is a multi-level facility consisting of 15 housing units. DRF-West consists of seven housing units; one unsecured Level I unit with 120 beds, three Level II units with 720 beds, two Level IV units with 384 beds, and a 22-bed temporary segregation unit. The Carson City Correctional Facility has 428 employees when fully staffed and the capacity to house 2,526 adult prisoners. Chaplain Lonnie wrote to us today asking for as many Bibles as we are able to send them.
“To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.” Isaiah 42:7 (KJB)
Carson City Correctional will be the 28th prison that we will have sent Bibles to in the current “hot streak” the Lord has us on, it’s an exciting thing seeing all these facilities reaching out to us and us being able to meet each and every need that comes in. Chaplain Lonny writes to say “We have 2300 inmates within two facilities and three security levels. We would deeply appreciate as many Bibles as possible.”
Since I last wrote, we have been able to send out Bibles and books to the Heard County Jail, Charlotte Hall Veterans Home, Maine Correctional Center, and Moberly Correctional as well. Carson City with its current roster of 2,300 inmates is a big one, and I don’t expect to be able to send them a bible for each inmate, as that would come out to about $8,257. But realistically, if we could send them somewhere between 500 – 1,000 Bibles, that would be a wonderful start. But the final number we send is up to each and every one of you. Come help us, we need you!
