According to foreign media reports, Uber Freight and Aurora Innovation are working together to launch a new program, Premier Autonomy, which aims to enable Uber Freight transportation companies to visit Aurora in advance of self-driving mileage of more than 1 billion miles by 2030.
The program is a new development in the long-standing relationship between the two sides, which aims to integrate and deploy self-driving trucks on the Uber Freight network so that transport companies of all sizes can improve vehicle utilization and business efficiency through self-driving technology.
In addition, Uber Freight will be one of the first customers of Aurora’s freight routes from Dallas to Houston (Dallas-to-Houston) and is expected to provide driverless transport services to shippers by the end of 2024.

The industry’s pioneering program provides transportation companies with an early and simplified path to purchase and use Aurora Driver.
Its benefits include: 1, subscribing to Aurora Driver self-driving freight transportation services.
2, the opportunity to achieve more than 1 billion miles of self-driving mileage by 2030.
and 3.
High utilization of self-driving trucks through planned and seamless integration of Aurora Driver into the Uber Freight platform.
To improve the profitability of transportation companies of all sizes, Premier Autonomy plans to enable transportation companies of all sizes to use transformative technology to improve their operations.
Now, it takes two to three days for a manually driven truck to transport goods from Dallas to Los Angeles.
With Aurora Driver, it is possible to complete the trip in a day.
Aurora’s research shows that by optimizing speed on highways, reducing idling mileage, improving vehicle utilization and increasing off-peak hours, and achieving programmed and environmentally friendly driving, self-driving trucks are expected to be 32 per cent more energy efficient than conventional trucks.
Since the pilot began in 2020, Uber Freight and Aurora have delivered millions of pounds of cargo, unlocking key lessons on how to effectively use autopilot to transport goods.
The two companies are committed to adopting a meticulous approach to self-driving deployment to ensure that qualified transport companies have seamless access to dedicated capacity.
The size and density of the Uber Freight network and its market technology and expertise make it the preferred platform for self-driving truck deployment.
The deep integration of Aurora Driver and Uber Freight networks creates a seamless and familiar experience for customers.
The Uber Freight network can also identify freight customers with suitable goods for Aurora Driver to optimize utilization.
