Aurora Innovation—which aims to begin rolling totally human-free trucks between Dallas and Houston by late 2024—said nearly half of all truck freight in Texas moves along I-45 between Dallas and Houston, making the corridor an ideal route for Aurora’s commercial launch.
Former Ryder CTO Kendra Phillips will lead Aurora's trucking and logistics partner programs. The newest one—a Fort Worth-El Paso hauling route for Werner Enterprises—is a key link in the commercial thoroughfare from L.A. to Atlanta. But it's a flat, monotonous run that many truck drivers find unappealing—making it a key test case for the Aurora Driver.
Aurora capped off a six-month pilot test of its autonomous Toyota S-AM minivans in Dallas-Fort Worth by giving Toyota North America CEO Ted Ogawa and other execs a ride toward DFW Airport yesterday.
Aurora will continue to test and develop its ride-hailing and autonomous trucking tech from Dallas, including a new trucking route from Dallas to El Paso. It expects to launch its ride-hailing product, Aurora Connect, in late 2024.
