Aurora develops the Aurora Driver, a self-driving system for Class 8 trucks, and has launched a commercial self-driving service with heavy-duty trucks on public roads.

From the 2027 season, Aurora branding will also appear on Arrow McLaren driver firesuits and the engine cover of the No. 6 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet.

The company launched Aurora Driver 2, a second-generation hardware and software stack on a new driverless truck platform, and has deployed a second fleet of trucks without a person behind the wheel.
Aurora’s new kit, designed for one million miles of operation, is expected to cost about half the previous generation. New agreements were signed with Value Truck and Charger Logistics, while Volvo Autonomous Solutions added DSV and AVI-SPL. Upfitter Roush has begun manufacturing, targeting a 1,000-truck annual run-rate in October.
