“We strongly believe that engaging key partners – the people who
will regularly interact with the Aurora Driver – is critical to the
success of our driverless commercial product," said Ossa Fisher,
president of Aurora. “Our Partner Summit allows us to showcase the
capabilities and competence of the Aurora Driver and build trust
with our stakeholders that we’re on the right path to safely deploy
driverless trucks.”
Aurora Partner Summit
The Aurora Partner Summit brings together over 20 carriers as
well as industry safety experts, regulators, first responders, and
law enforcement from the national, state, and local level for
collaborative conversations on a wide range of industry topics.
Nat Beuse, Aurora’s Chief Safety Officer, will outline the
company’s approach to evaluating the Aurora Driver’s readiness for
driverless operations between Dallas and Houston through the
closure of its Safety Case. Additionally, law enforcement
professionals and first responders will share their experiences
working with Aurora and how they are preparing for driverless
trucks in Texas.
Partner Success Program
Aurora is launching an industry-first Partner Success Program,
which puts customers’ drivers and executives in the cab of Aurora
Driver-powered trucks to evaluate autonomy performance before
driverless operations. To help validate the program, Aurora
enlisted J.J. Keller, a trusted source in safety and regulatory
compliance, to take a ride and provide feedback on the experience.
The program is slated to begin in Q4 2024.
Phoenix Route Expansion
As part of the company’s effort to unlock value for carriers,
Aurora plans to extend its Fort Worth to El Paso lane by opening
operations to Phoenix. The company expects to begin commercial
pilots for customers between Fort Worth and Phoenix in the first
half of 2025 with the intent to go driverless on that route later
in the year. The 1,000-mile passage takes over 15 hours to
complete, making it particularly compelling for autonomy.
Aurora has hauled over 7,000 loads for pilot customers across
nearly two million commercial miles to date. For more information,
