The International Motors LT Series tractors will be deployed as part of Aurora’s transportation-as-a- service product line, according to the self-driving truck technology developer.

The autonomous trucks will be manufactured at Volvo Trucks North America’s New River Valley production plant in Dublin, Va. The first batch was built there in the final quarter of 2024.

The 40-year-old trucking software developer showcased its own investments in AI along with its partnerships with a growing number of third-party AI technology vendors.

This Aurora-McLeod software integration will make it easier for mutual customers to adopt autonomous trucks and pave the way for broader industry deployment of this emerging technology.

The Pittsburgh-based automated driving developer during the quarter launched commercial driverless operations, added a terminal in Phoenix and began initial nighttime operations.

Daytime autonomous runs on the Dallas-Houston corridor laid the groundwork for the new overnight service, which more than doubles each truck’s utilization potential.

The rare structure — bonds that turn into equity in another company if the underlying stock exceeds a set price after a period — offered investors a compelling combination of attributes.

Aurora Innovation is putting a human back in front of the wheel of big rigs operating in Texas, reversing course less than three weeks after the company began commercial autonomous service.

GM has hired Sterling Anderson, the former director of Tesla’s Autopilot program and a co-founder of autonomous startup Aurora, as chief product officer overseeing all vehicle development.

Aurora Innovation has launched the nation’s first commercial driverless freight service, sending autonomous 18-wheelers between Dallas and Houston without a human behind the wheel.
