Aurora Driver for Freight

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 later added night operations, validated Fort Worth-El Paso and Fort Worth-Phoenix, and began supervised customer-endpoint lanes such as Dallas-Laredo.
