Aurora’s Chris Urmson on why self-driving trucks are finally ready to scale

# Self-Driving Trucks Are Actually Delivering the Goods Now After decades of false starts, self-driving trucks are moving from the "coming soon" category to real commercial operations—Aurora's trucks have been hauling freight between Dallas and Houston since last year, and the company is now expanding from a handful of vehicles to hundreds in 2024. CEO Chris Urmson says the technology has finally matured enough to handle real work at scale, which matters because trucking is one of the largest job categories in America and a major cost driver for shipping everything you buy. This isn't science fiction anymore; it's happening right now on actual highways.
