Driverless Semi-Trucks may soon be cruising on a 200-mile part of a highway in Texas.
Later this month, driverless trucks plan to circulate on Interstate 45 between Dallas and Houston.
Aurora Innovation, a Pittsburgh firm founded in 2017, has developed a truck, outfitted with sensors and specialized software, that can allegedly operate 24/7, with no breaks and no driver, while transporting large amounts of cargo to and fro across America’s freeway system.

Aurora calls its AI-fueled software system the “Aurora Driver,” and plans to have its driverless trucks on the road by the end of the month.
It has been testing its vehicles in closed environments and has also used “virtual testing” of real-world conditions.

“At Aurora, we believe that the benefits of self-driving technology will increase efficiency and mobility, while bringing a reliable driver supply and heightened safety to America’s roads. A safer world where goods never stop moving.”
