- Deployment Notes
- [stage: limited-commercial] Aurora began regular driverless customer deliveries between Dallas and Houston in May 2025 after closing its safety case, and described the service as commercial. By mid-2026, reported operations included a three-truck fleet, daily weather-permitting runs, and additional autonomous freight lanes such as Fort Worth to Phoenix; the sources do not indicate a safety driver in the driverless service.
