Overview

• Aurora now operates three driverless trucks logging over 20,000 autonomous miles on the Dallas–Houston corridor around the clock.
• The company opened a Phoenix terminal in June to support its 1,000-mile Fort Worth–Phoenix route for clients including Hirschbach and Werner.
• Aurora’s FirstLight lidar detects obstacles over 450 meters away in low light, enabling up to 11-second earlier hazard recognition than human drivers.
• Each truck carries a human observer at partners’ request, but Aurora Driver remains fully responsible for all driving tasks without interventions.
• The firm is validating rain-mode to enable all-weather operations and aims to field tens of driverless trucks by year-end and hundreds by the end of 2026.
