  • Aurora reports about 250,000 driverless miles with no Aurora Driver–attributed collisions as of January 2026.
  • Automated, cloud‑based mapping now generates key semantic map data after a single manual drive to accelerate new lane and customer‑endpoint rollout.

  • The company projects roughly 200 driverless trucks by year‑end, says commercial capacity is fully committed through Q3 2026, and targets positive free cash flow in 2028.
