Six months after launching fully driverless trucking runs on I-45 between Dallas and Houston, Aurora is now robo-driving trucks on the long, flat, 600-mile route to El Paso. Surpassing 100,000 driverless miles on public roads, the company aims to sharply scale up in 2026, with new next-gen hardware and new OEM truck partners.
After years of successful Dallas-Houston Uber Freight runs using Aurora's self-driving truck technology, the companies have launched Premier Autonomy—giving "hundreds of carriers" priority access to autonomous truck capacity through 2030.
Planning to launch driverless operations between Dallas and Houston later this year out of its Lancaster hub, Kodiak says its sixth-generation driverless-ready semi-truck bristles with redundancies for safe operation—building on the
Mountain View, California-based company's five years of real-world testing.
In partnership with Continental—which is based in Germany with a U.S. HQ in Auburn Hills, Michigan—Aurora says the two companies have finalized the design and architecture of the future fallback system and hardware of the Aurora Driver. Aurora aims to begin rolling totally human-free trucks on I-45 between Dallas and Houston in late 2024.
The Addison-based trucking empire has outfitted its trucks with the latest technology, some of which goes beyond what you find in today’s higher-end consumer vehicles.
