Aurora to add night driving, new routes as it ramps driverless trucking


In 2025, Aurora plans to operate fully driverless trucks at night, in poor weather, and beyond Houston and Dallas and into El Paso and Phoenix.

The company, which provided the update in its first-quarter shareholder letter, also plans to expand its driverless trucking route beyond Dallas to Houston, and into El Paso and Phoenix.
