Uber and Aurora announce ‘long-term’ driverless truck deal after successful pilot


Driverless trucks are set to launch later this year.

Uber’s freight hauling business will use Aurora’s driverless trucks on routes between Dallas and Houston as part of a new “long-term” deal that builds on a three-year-old commercial pilot. Premier Autonomy members will also get “access to over 1 billion driverless miles through 2030” as well as “seamless integration” of the Aurora Driver into the Uber Freight platform. The ridehailing company had been developing its own self-driving truck as part of its larger investment in autonomous technology but later was forced to off-load it to Aurora.
