FMCSA grants Aurora a five-year cab-beacon exemption

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration granted Aurora Operations and other Level 4 automated-truck operators a five-year exemption, effective Oct. 7, 2026 through Oct. 7, 2031, to use cab-mounted warning beacons instead of roadside triangles when a truck is stopped. Other carriers must notify FMCSA before using the exemption, and work that would need passenger or hazardous-materials CDL endorsements is barred. The grant follows a 2024 denial and a temporary 2025 waiver; it is a new five-year rule, not a redate of that earlier waiver.
