Volvo's Fort Worth office will set up the first V.A.S. autonomous freight corridors from Dallas-Fort Worth to El Paso and from Dallas to Houston. The company has already begun manual test runs with partners including Uber Freight and DHL. See who else is rolling autonomous trucks out of DFW—and why North Texas has become a key testing ground "to change the way we move goods on highways."
Aurora Innovation is already hauling freight with its self-driving trucks from Dallas-Fort Worth to Houston and El Paso, for customers including FedEx, Uber Freight, Werner, and Schneider.
The release of its Aurora Driver Beta 5.0 adds detection and appropriate response to emergency vehicles like ambulances, fire engines, and law enforcement vehicles, along with other enhanced capabilities.
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.
With the deal, San Francisco-based Uber Freight aims to create "one of the leading logistics technology platforms." The combined services—Uber Freight’s network of carriers and Transplace’s shipper technology and operational solutions—make for a fully scaled logistics platform.
