AURORA TO ADD NIGHT DRIVING, NEW ROUTES AS IT RAMPS DRIVERLESS TRUCKING
Summary from the TLDR newsletter
Aurora Innovation plans to expand its driverless trucking route beyond Dallas to Houston and into El Paso and Phoenix. The company plans to start sending its self-driving trucks out at night and during adverse weather conditions in the second half of 2025. It already runs freight with self-driving trucks in those conditions, but with a human safety operator behind the wheel. Running at nighttime would double the company's drive time and is a key milestone.
