Thanks to Artificial Intelligence combined with a powerful computer and sensors that can see beyond the length of four football fields, Aurora Innovation, Inc., is the first company to operate commercial self-driving trucks on public roads in America with the launch of their service in Texas.

According to a May 1 statement from the company, the service has been making regular driverless customer deliveries between Dallas and Houston following the closure of the technology's safety case.

The safety case tested Aurora's flagship product, the Aurora Driver, an SAE L4 self-driving system, with a safety driver for four years. Over the period, the Aurora Driver covered some 3 million autonomous miles and delivered more than 10,000 customer loads.
