The company is also the first to operate a commercial self-driving service with heavy-duty trucks on public roads in the U.S.

As of June 30, 2025, Aurora-equipped trucks have autonomously driven more than 3.3 million cumulative miles, including both supervised and driverless operations. During its second-quarter earnings call, the company revealed that since commercialization in late April, the Aurora Driver has logged more than 20,000 driverless miles without any Aurora Driver-attributed collisions.

The company currently has three driverless trucks operating between Dallas and Houston. Aurora has also begun driverless operations at night ahead of schedule and opened a terminal in Phoenix, according to information disclosed in its second-quarter report.

For the second half of 2025, Aurora plans to increase its driverless commercial loads, improve its technology to handle rain and heavy wind conditions, and expand routes to include Fort Worth-El Paso and Phoenix connections. With analyst price targets ranging from $3.59 to $15.00, Cantor Fitzgerald views Aurora as a "Top Pick in Mobility" and considers current price levels "an attractive entry-point with considerable upside" for investors with a longer-term horizon.
