Volvo teams up with Aurora to reveal an autonomous semi truck


The truck is designed for mass production.

Volvo revealed its first “production-ready” self-driving truck that it’s making with Aurora, the autonomous driving technology company founded by former executives from Google, Uber, and Tesla. The idea of the vehicle being purpose-built is important for the mass production of self-driving trucks, which is crucial if the companies are ever to achieve a return on the massive amounts of money that they’ve invested in AV development. Some companies have gone out of business, while others have cut plans to deploy driverless trucks as timelines have stretched into the future and funding has dried up.
