Making roads safer with autonomy.

Avoiding pedestrians

Pedestrians can often appear on the road with little notice. Training the Aurora Driver to detect pedestrians and respond with lightning-fast reflexes has the potential to save lives.

Handling aggressive cut-ins

Aggressive drivers are all too common on public roads. The Aurora Driver is prepared to track these vehicles, predict their paths, and adjust its speed and position accordingly to maintain safety.

Navigating a tire blowout

Trucks experience tire blowouts, so it is critical that the Aurora Driver can detect and respond to these situations by safely bringing the vehicle to a stop on the shoulder.

Responding to law enforcement officers

The Aurora Driver is able to identify emergency vehicles and take appropriate actions, giving space to passing emergency vehicles and pulling over when necessary.

The Aurora Driver can save lives.

Study shows that the Aurora Driver could have avoided fatal crashes that occurred along I-45 in Texas.

“Do I feel safe with this technology around my family? Without hesitation, the answer is yes. We still have work to do educating the public. It’s extremely safe, vetted, and checked over and over.”

“Today’s CDLs are fantastic drivers, and the Aurora Driver is designed to perform like the best of them. The consistently strong performance of the self-driving system over millions of autonomous miles gives me confidence that autonomous trucks will make our supply chain safer and more efficient.”

“In my decades working on road safety, advances in safety engineering have produced some of the most effective and reliable reduction in death and injuries on the road. My experience riding in trucks driven by the Aurora Driver gives me confidence that it reliably sees and recognizes what is happening on the road. Importantly, it is aware of the actions of other vehicles and pedestrians, anticipates hazards, and takes appropriate action.”
