Aurora’s autonomous trucks now drive at night. The next big problem is rain.

During the next year, Aurora Innovation General Director Chris Urmson, like self-driving machines, a southern route like self-driving machines, Uber loads and Hirschbach wants to “unlock” a southern route like Hirschbach motor lines.

Aurora, put it on Driverless trading self-driving truck service This spring has already made progress towards this goal. The company told the shareholders on Wednesday that this was now a commercially three self-driving trucks between Dallas and Houston, and until the end of June, there are more than 20,000 drivers. Trade is in self-driving machines, according to the company, there is a “observer” who is not there to intervene.

Aurora also opened a terminal in a pheniks, which is another physical sign of the Sunbelt Trucking-route mission. Aurora, Texas, Texas, Texas, a 15-hour route from Phoenix for phoenix, Hirschbach and Werner bears an autonomous load. The company requires the terminals one to five miles away from the highway, the driverless driverless trucks to manage the output and surface streets.

However, the company is the ability to work at night, which helps to press the new area at night. Aurora confirmed the ability to walk the night roads and ways of the driverless trucks on Tuesday. This allows trucks to travel longer distances and is important for traditional human drivers and the federal service limitation. Truck drivers are allowed to drive up to 11 hours in a 14-hour period; And they can’t do the day. After completing a long route of truck drivers, it is required to take 10 hours of breaks.

“The value is really in length – 600 miles, of course,” Urmson said Urmson, in the last interview, Urora, Aurora trucks carry loads of trucks to California from Miami to California.

Urmson provides a loan to a long-distance LiDAR, which can discover the objects of more than 450 meters for more than 450 meters for the ability to run. According to the company, Lidar pedestrians, vehicles and garbage can determine until traditional drivers up to 11 seconds. The Aurora has acquired two LiDAR companies since the establishment of 2017. The company has purchased Dark-skinnedMontana-based LiDAR startup, in May 2019 and in 2021 in our technology.

Now the engineers of Urmson and Aurora are trying to confirm the ability of driverless trucks to work in the rain.

“By the end of the year, we will work in the afternoon, night and rain – if you can’t pass through the rain, as a result, it is difficult to support these long operations, because it is raining in one place,” he said.

Today, Auroran’s development fleet thinks that the company does not allow Urmson’s commercial trucks to do the same. The Aurora did not finish the approval for today, and “why we do not want to put this verification tab next to you,” he said.

Today, the company is watching the weather with a commercial route between Dallas and Houston. If negative weather conditions suddenly occur suddenly, these trucks can discover it and leave the road in places where they will be waiting for.

“This year, it really means that vehicles can manage the places needed by vehicles,” he said, pay attention to the company’s approval in the night and rain.

Next year, Aurora will focus on expanding the road network in terms of distances and its fleet. Aurora, “Tens of thousands of Russian trucks” operating on the roads by the end of the year and “hundreds of” by the end of 2026.

All this will be critical, if the driver hopes to make more routes from the driverless trucks and a larger fleet in the rain, and hoping to earn a profit with a bigger fleet.

Today comes the income-people income gap is a big thing. Aurora, $ 1 million in the second quarter and the loss of net income was $ 201 million. According to the regulatory document.
