(Reuters) - TuSimple Holdings Inc and Navistar (NYSE:NAV) have ended a deal to co-develop self-driving trucks, the companies announced on Monday.

In 2020, Illinois-based Navistar bought a minority stake in TuSimple and announced a deal to co-develop heavy-duty self-driving trucks by 2024, as the autonomous driving technology space boomed with investor attention.

The trucks would have operated at Level 4 autonomy - where vehicles can operate without a driver under set conditions.
