Amazon-backed self-driving vehicle firm Aurora is integrating its driverless tech with Uber Freight’s logistics platform to haul shipments between Dallas and Houston. Since last week, the company began hauling freight for Uber Freight customers with its automated trucks along the Dallas-Houston route. An Uber Freight driver drops the load with Aurora, and Aurora’s self-driving trucks haul it along the freeway between Aurora’s hubs in either city, then another human Uber Freight driver handles the last leg of the journey. Over the next two years, Aurora will integrate its trucking platform, Aurora Horizon, with Uber Freight with the goal of allowing its own customers to also haul freight for shippers using Uber Freight. Through its strategic partnership with Uber, Aurora has also begun testing its self-driving Toyota Siennas on the Uber platform in Dallas.
