News Summary

• Aurora Innovation will start hauling loads in driverless trucks for distribution giant McLane.
• The trucks will operate autonomously and will not have a human safety driver on board who can take over.
• McLane recently approved moving to driverless operations, which now run seven days a week between the two Texas cities.
• The commercial contract is the latest win for Aurora as it tries to transition from a developer of autonomous trucks to a commercial operator earning money on its driverless routes.
• It comes a year after the company launched its commercial self-driving truck service in Texas.
