Overview
- A fourth software release expands Aurora’s driverless operations to 10 Sun Belt routes, including Dallas–Houston, Fort Worth–El Paso, El Paso–Phoenix, Fort Worth–Phoenix, and Dallas–Laredo.
- The newly validated Fort Worth–Phoenix lane spans roughly 1,000 miles and takes about 15 hours, exceeding federal hours-of-service limits for human drivers.
- Aurora reports 250,000 driverless miles as of January 2026 with no Aurora Driver–attributed collisions during its commercial operations.
- Driverless freight runs continue on Texas routes, with some trucks operating without in-cab monitors and others carrying observers at partner request for optics.
- Aurora targets more than 200 driverless trucks by year-end 2026, plans a Q2 launch of an International LT with a hardware stack at roughly half the current cost and without a safety monitor, and guides to positive free cash flow in 2028 with capacity committed through Q3 2026.
