Aurora’s driverless trucks can now travel farther distances faster than human drivers

SMRTR summary

Aurora's self-driving trucks now complete 1,000-mile routes between Fort Worth and Phoenix in 15 hours nonstop, significantly faster than human drivers who face federal regulations requiring breaks and rest periods. This breakthrough enables Aurora to cut transit times nearly in half while generating $4 million in revenue last year, marking the company's transition from developer to commercial operator with plans to expand across the Sun Belt.
