"Aurora and Continental Gear Up for Mass-Produced Autonomous Trucks by 2027"
TL;DR
Aurora and Continental have completed the initial phase of their partnership to create hardware for autonomous commercial trucks, finalizing the design and system architecture, including a fallback system. They plan to showcase their progress at CES 2024 and aim to start mass production in 2027. Meanwhile, Aurora is set to launch up to 20 driverless trucks for freight between Dallas and Houston by the end of 2024, even before the new hardware kit is ready for mass production. This step is seen as crucial for Aurora's long-term profitability and the commercial viability of self-driving trucks.
