Aurora Innovation (AUR) said Thursday it began its commercial self-driving trucking service between Dallas and Houston in Texas this week.
The company said it intends to expand the service to El Paso, Texas, and Phoenix, Arizona, by the end of 2025.
Aurora said its trucks are equipped with the Aurora Driver hardware kit and various redundant systems including braking, steering, power, sensing, controls, computing, cooling, and communication, to "safely" operate without a human driver.
Aurora's launch clients are Uber Technologies' (UBER) Uber Freight and Hirschbach Motor Lines, the company said.
Aurora's stock was down 2.6% in recent Thursday trading.
