Aurora
Self-driving freight is here, powered by the Aurora Driver.

Aurora develops self-driving technology for long-haul freight trucking through its Aurora Driver platform. The system integrates directly into existing truck fleets and uses proprietary lidar and AI to autonomously haul loads with superhuman perception capabilities. It is currently commercially deployed hauling customer freight in Texas.
The Aurora Driver is an AI-powered self-driving system with proprietary FirstLight lidar that integrates directly into commercial trucks, enabling nearly round-the-clock autonomous freight hauling on major routes.
