Autonomic Vehicle Technology Company Aurora Innovation plans to expand to the success of its first commercial commercial start and increase the night driving in its operations.
Aurora said on Thursday that in the second half of 2025, she will begin to send her self-direction trucks at night and during adverse weather conditions such as rain or heavy wind. The company, which provided the update in its letter of first quarter shareholders, also plans to expand its route of driverless trucks beyond Dallas in Houston, and in El Paso and Phoenix.
“We would like to have a high return of wealth for every truck we have, and so we will try to direct the efficiency to get as many miles as possible as soon as possible,” Aurora CFO Maday said on Thursday when calling for the first trimester of the company. “We need to be able to double our car’s time as soon as we unlock the night. And this is our other main milestones.”
Aurora already runs goods with self-direct trucks under those conditions, but with a human security operator after the wheel. The company said it has completed more than 4,000 miles in a single self-driving truck without a driver running the goods to its departure customers Hirschbach Lines and Freight Uber.
In the week since the commercial start of Aurora, the company has already expanded to two driverless trucks operating daily and says it expects to operate “dozens of trucks” by the end of 2025.
Historical and future plans come along with another major change in the company: the resignation of co -founder and leading product official Anderson.
Aurora shared new details on Thursday in its first quarter shareholders letter regarding plans to increase its autonomous goods service, signaling that it will provide more specific deadlines for key milestones as it expands.

Aurora generated $ 871,000 from pilot income from its driver’s trading directions, which increased by 22% on a quarterly basis and 54% compared to the same time last year for Maday.
“At the commercial start, we will begin to know the income,” he said on Thursday during the call of the first trimester of Aurora. “This will include driverless income as well as continuous pilot income … With our deliberate approach to start, we expect our 2025 income to be modest, in millions of medium -sized.
The company reported $ 211 million in operating expenses, including $ 153 million for R&D. He used $ 142m in cash and $ 8 million in Capex in the first quarter, ending nearly $ 1.2 billion in money and short -term investment. Aurora expects to spend $ 175 million to $ 185 million for quarter for the rest of this year.
In the short term, Aurora plans to own, operate, maintain and provide their own trucks-made available on the Uber-Customers Network. The company is working with Paccar and Volvo Trucks partners to build self-driving trucks on the scale. Starting in 2027 or earlier, Aurora expects customers to buy those trucks directly from manufacturers so that they can move to a driver’s service model as a service and reach “high gross limits” for Maday.
