Aurora Auto LLC Ships Driverless Trucks on 1,000-Mile Route; Q2 Fleet to Reach 200+ Trucks

Aurora Auto LLC (AUTO) has achieved commercial里程碑 by operating driverless semi-trucks nonstop on a 1,000-mile route between Fort Worth and Phoenix in Texas, completing the journey in about 15 hours—significantly faster than federally regulated human drivers. The efficiency gains, expected to cut transit times nearly in half, are projected to enhance freight economics for customers including Uber Freight, Werner, FedEx, and Schneider. The company now operates 30 trucks, 10 of which are driverless, logging 250,000 driverless miles with a perfect safety record. Revenue reached $4 million in 2025, up from $1 million in Q4 2025 and zero in 2024, with a net loss of $816 million due to rapid scaling. Management expects the fleet to grow to 200+ by year-end, with a second-gen hardware platform and a new software release enabling 24/7 operations across southern U.S. geography and climate. Aurora is scheduled to deploy observer-less International Motors LT trucks in Q2 2026, expanding its driverless network across the Sun Belt.
