Major players including Waymo Via, Aurora, and Kodiak have concentrated their core road-testing corridors in friendly states
Argonne National Laboratory houses the Aurora supercomputer.
Aurora employs a commercial deployment model called the Autonomous Freight Network.
Aurora's CFO has publicly stated that the 30,000 driverless truck target is not visionary rhetoric, but an operational goal supported by a concrete implementation path.
Aurora prioritizes deployment on fixed trunk corridors, such as the Dallas–Houston route in Texas.
Aurora completed its first commercial transaction in 2024 and began charging freight customers.
The corridor-first strategy validates the unit economics model by limiting operations to high-frequency, low-complexity fixed routes.
Aurora plans to have 30,000 driverless trucks on U.S. highways by 2030.
Aurora takes less than 1 second per 6-hour forecast step on GPU, approximately 100 seconds per step on CPU, and currently does not support Apple silicon.
Aurora is an AI weather model released by Microsoft, one of the earliest AI weather models to demonstrate excellent performance, and is easy to get started with as a foundation model.
