>At this point, the TuSimple trucks carrying packages for UPS still have an engineer and a safety driver riding along. When UPS reaches Level 4, it won’t need anyone behind the wheel.

Yeah, when that happens, that'll be news...

No where does the article say they are delivering packages, but it appears rather they are shipping trailers between distribution centers on interstate highways.

With a "safety driver" at the wheel, like everyone else.

My Subaru (not Tesla) can manage itself on the highway pretty well with me, a safety driver, behind the wheel checking in on it periodically.

Exactly. Of course no one noticed - the trucks still have a driver in them.
