In the interest of transparency and accountability, we are sharing a closer look at the work that underpins our development of safe self-driving technology.
Our Aurora Driver-powered trucks will travel hundreds of miles while hauling customer freight back and forth across Texas. During those trips, they will inevitably encounter emergency vehicles—in fact, there’s a good chance they’ll come across at least one per trip.
With more than two decades of police experience at municipal and state agencies like the Arizona Department of Public Safety and the Arizona Department of Transportation, Gary helps define how the Aurora Driver will safely and responsibly interact with officers on the road.
During the third quarter of 2022, we continued to build momentum across the core elements of our business, as outlined on our roadmap to launch Aurora Horizon, our autonomous trucking service. Here are the big takeaways from the past several months.
Logistics is a complicated business with lots of moving pieces. We expect Aurora Horizon to provide carriers and fleet owners with a safe, reliable, and efficient option for transporting goods—one that supplements human truck drivers, increases fleet utilization, and lowers operational costs.
For National Pedestrian Safety Month, we're sharing a deep dive into how we’re training the Aurora Driver to detect and safely respond to vulnerable road users.
Aurora Vice President of Safety Nat Beuse recently sat down with Dr. Jeff Runge, Chair of our Safety Advisory Board, to talk about the importance of strong organizational safety systems and frameworks, as well as how the self-driving industry can build the trust and confidence of the general public.
