Fly through the line where Aurora Driver-powered trucks take shape, from hardware kit to finished truck.

We build them with our upfit partner Roush in Livonia, Michigan, in a 20,000 sq ft facility dedicated to Aurora. Roush brings five decades of upfitting experience and extensive work with autonomous vehicles.

At each station of a multi-station line, Aurora Driver hardware is integrated onto the truck. More than 20 driverless trucks are already built and coming into our fleet.

Ahead of National First Responders Day, we celebrate the law enforcement officers, firefighters and EMS professionals who protect our roads, and the partnerships that make them safer.

We believe autonomous technology should help, not hinder, the vital work of emergency personnel. That’s why we work with first responder agencies across the country as we design and deploy our driverless trucks.

To every first responder: thank you. We’re proud to share the road with you.

Some of the best conversations at ATA MCE happened right in front of the truck.

Our team spent the week in Charlotte answering questions from carriers and fleet leaders about how the Aurora Driver works and how autonomy fits into their operations. Thanks for stopping by.

Didn't get a chance to connect with us? We'd love to keep the conversation going. Reach out to our team to learn more about bringing autonomous trucking into your operations. https://info.aurora.tech/schedule-a-call

Are our trucks marked to show they're driverless?

Nat Beuse, Aurora's Chief Safety Officer, answers in our latest video.

The side of the cab shows the owner, truck ID, and USDOT number, just like any other commercial truck.What sets it apart is the sensors mounted on the front, roof, and sides of the cab. That's how the truck sees, and that's how you'll spot it.
When the truck stops on the shoulder, the side pods pulse high-visibility amber so oncoming drivers can see it well in advance.

The Aurora Driver detects vehicles, emergency responders, and roadway hazards, and it follows the same rules of the road as every other truck.

Now you know what to look for.

Aurora Driver 2 is on TIME's Best Inventions of 2026 list.

Our second-generation self-driving system launched in July and has hauled customer freight on public roads with no one behind the wheel since. Our trucks have covered more than 500,000 miles that way since commercial launch.

Close one eye and try to judge how far away the car ahead is. You can see it, but you lose depth.

A standard camera does the same thing—it sees the world in 2D.That's why the Aurora Driver doesn't rely on cameras alone. It combines lidar, radar, and cameras.
Lidar fires lasers to measure the exact distance to everything around the truck, day or night. FirstLight, our proprietary lidar, can see 1,000 meters down the road.

Watch one of our Aurora engineers explain the difference lidar makes. His team designs the technology our trucks use to see.

What happens when a car merges onto the highway next to a driverless truck?

The Aurora Driver detects the car on the frontage road, well before it reaches the on-ramp. The moment the car moves toward the highway, the truck begins a gentle acceleration, opening a full truck length of space so the driver can merge without stress.

Watch the speedometer to see it happen.
