Aurora Driver for Freight
Overview
Aurora's SAE Level 4 self-driving trucking system and subscription service for long-haul freight. It combines FirstLight lidar, radar, cameras, and autonomy software and is being deployed first on Class 8 trucks for middle-mile highway routes.
Regular driverless customer deliveries began in late April 2025 on Dallas-Houston. Aurora has since tripled the driverless network to 10 routes across the Sun Belt (adding night operations and validating the ~1,000-mile Fort Worth-Phoenix lane) and in May 2026 ran its first lane outside Texas — a ~200-mile supervised Dallas–Oklahoma City route with Volvo's VNL Autonomous. As of April 2026 the Aurora Driver had logged 370,000+ driverless miles at zero attributed collisions; next-generation lower-cost hardware on the International LT platform is targeted to run driverless without an observer in 2026 en route to 200+ trucks by year-end.
