Aurora announced the completion of a Houston terminal that finalizes the first commercial-ready route for driverless trucks.

Autonomous technology developer Aurora says it has set itself up financially for up to the next two years with a new round of public and private funding. 

A number of autonomous truck developers like Aurora have set up operations in Texas, allowing them to run test drivers and preview routes with their self-driving technology.

The prospect of a driverless semi is scary to many, but not to Aurora Innovation CEO Chris Urmson, who helped to build Google’s autonomous vehicle unit.

Aurora took another step toward an autonomous delivery network with the launch of its first commercial-ready terminal for autonomous trucks in South Dallas.

Aurora Innovation Inc. has entered the final phase of development for a new version of its integrated hardware and autonomous truck system, the company announced April 3.

Aurora Innovation Inc. has released Aurora Driver Beta 5.0, the latest version of its integrated hardware and autonomy system, to its autonomous trucking fleet in Texas.

Autonomous vehicle company Aurora Innovation Inc. and Ryder System Inc., a provider of supply chain, dedicated transportation, and fleet management solutions, announced a strategic collaboration to pilot on-site fleet maintenance.

Aurora Innovation Inc. CEO Chris Urmson recently laid out a range of options for the self-driving company to respond to worsening market conditions and partners pushing out timelines, including a possible sale to Apple Inc. or Microsoft Corp., according to a document seen by Bloomberg.

When it comes to autonomous vehicles, there isn’t just one way to go about safety. State regulators draft legislation. Independent firms create recommendations. Individual companies devise their own protocols. Stakeholders can agree on one thing: Safety is important.
