Aurora Technologies plans to deploy 200 autonomous trucks by the end of the year, with a production rate of 20 trucks per week, and aims for industrial-scale deployment by 2028. This marks a significant acceleration from their initial lane validation times. However, scaling to industrial levels requires partnerships with major manufacturers like Volvo Trucks and Daimler Truck, who possess the necessary assembly capabilities. Both Volvo and Daimler are targeting 2027 for fully driverless operations, with industrial-scale production anticipated for 2028, contingent on regulatory approvals. AI
