In early May, Aurora announced it had successfully completed commercial deliveries with autonomous semitrailer trucks, a feat that exemplifies progress in the self-driving vehicle industry. The trucks operated with no human drivers between Dallas and Houston for clients Hirschbach Motor Lines and Uber Freight. This milestone followed eight years of development, albeit slightly delayed due to extensive safety testing. However, shortly after this achievement, Aurora had to reintroduce safety operators in the trucks, indicating ongoing caution in the transition to fully autonomous operations.
Self-driving vehicle startups are often criticized for their lofty promises that remain unfulfilled. However, Aurora has recently completed a crucial milestone in autonomous trucking.
Aurora began commercial deliveries on May 1, using two autonomous semitrailer trucks, marking a significant step forward for the industry after eight years of development.
