Aurora's driverless trucks now haul freight in Texas

Driverless semi-trucks have begun operating regular commercial routes, marking a significant milestone in autonomous trucking. Aurora, an autonomous trucking firm, launched commercial service between Dallas and Houston, partnering with Uber Freight and Hirschbach Motor Lines. The trucks, equipped with advanced sensors, have completed over 1,200 miles without a human driver. This launch follows years of testing and development, with Aurora planning to expand its fleet. The technology faces scrutiny regarding safety and potential job displacement within the trucking industry.
