Autonomous Driving Trucking

Autonomous Trucking Miles Driven

Total miles each self-driving trucking company has logged on highways. Includes supervised miles (safety driver onboard) and fully driverless miles. Aurora began commercial driverless freight in April 2024.

Autonomous Freight Corridor Coverage

Interstate highway routes where self-driving trucks are running commercial freight today. Most operations cluster on Texas-to-California and Phoenix-to-Dallas corridors: flat, sunny, well-mapped highways are the easiest starting point.
