Aurora driverless truck Palmer Texas
por Krzysztof W.: Texas
Nobody is behind the wheel of this Class A Aurora semi truck, and the wheel is turning itself anyway. The person riding along is in the PASSENGER SEAT, filming the whole thing: the truck merges, changes lanes, and holds 70 on the highway. Palmer, Texas, headed toward Houston in a Class 8 truck. Previous runs of this had a safety driver. Not this time. The takeaway offered is that drivers need not worry about losing work, since carriers have trucks parked because they cannot find anyone to drive them. This is next level.

I am in Palmer, Texas, heading down towards Houston in a Class 8 truck that has no driver. This is an Aurora autonomous vehicle. It is a Class 8 truck pulling 60-ish thousand pounds, maybe 55,000 pounds, with no driver. And look at that. Is that race and cruelty? What's up, Grayson? Just thought I'd have to live stream this thing because this is something I've done before, but there's always been a safety driver right there. And right now, we've got nothing going exactly 65 miles an hour. And I think the future is here. But you know what? Drivers of the world do not have to be worried because this thing is not taking your job away We've got such a driver shortage right now That we could put a few thousand of these on the road today and it wouldn't make a difference because we've got Carriers have trucks that are parked right now because they can't find anybody to drive them See we're gonna get up at this exit we go down This is next level.
