How Does the Aurora Self-Driving Trucks Route to El Paso Work?

The new Fort Worth-to-El Paso route allows Aurora’s trucks to handle long-haul freight efficiently. Aurora works with launch partners like Hirschbach Motor Lines and Russell Transport, ensuring real-world freight operations. The route addresses staffing challenges and the difficulty of completing 10-hour hauls in a single day, making self-driving trucks an attractive option for carriers.
