Aurora's current driverless commercial freight fleet: the Aurora Driver (L4) integrated on PACCAR trucks (Peterbilt 579 and Kenworth T680). Running paid commercial freight on Texas lanes since May 2025, the fleet carries an OEM-requested in-cab observer (not a safety driver; the Aurora Driver operates the truck).
