Uber Freight and Aurora Innovation have collaborated to launch the Premier Autonomy program, offering qualified carriers the opportunity to purchase Class 8 trucks equipped with Aurora's self-driving technology, Aurora Driver, for autonomous operations. Carriers will be onboarded to the Aurora Driver subscription over 12 to 18 months, allowing them access to Uber Freight's shipment network. Initially, Aurora will own and operate the trucks, with plans to transition to a Driver-as-a-Service model. The program aims to enhance the efficiency and volume of freight moved and has already seen success in autonomous hauls between Dallas and Houston.
