Aurora's self-driving 18-wheelers have already logged 1,200 miles on Texas freeways
Briefly

Aurora has launched a fully driverless trucking service in Texas, completing over 1,200 miles of autonomous transport without a human driver. This significant achievement follows extensive testing and the rigorous development of their safety case. The trucks, which are equipped with advanced sensors that can detect objects from up to 1,000 feet, adhere to safety protocols, driving cautiously. While the rollout promises innovation, it raises concerns among safety experts and industry advocates regarding the implications for employment and safety in the trucking sector.

The 360-degree sensor suite is capable of detecting objects from up to 1,000 feet away, ensuring cautious driving and adherence to safety protocols.
