Aurora will test its fleet of self-driving cars and semi trucks in Texas

The Lone Star State is an official hotbed of AV activity

Texas is now firmly one of the top states in the US for AV testing. In addition to Aurora, the state is also playing host to Ford / Argo, Uber, self-driving truck startup TuSimple, and Waymo, as well as a remote-operated driverless shuttle in service at Texas A&M University. AV startup Drive.ai also operated in the Dallas region before going bust and getting acquired by Apple.

I rode a self-driving Uber in Vegas last December, it worked pretty well but the vehicle tenders in the car said it was all hand-built to work on the strip and they didn't (at the time) have a good way to scale out to other cities. Interested to see how it goes

Can't be any worse than humans driving trucks or vans.

Texas A&M University is modifying its self-driving pilot program in the city of Bryan, Texas, to have humans remotely monitor and operate the shuttles starting in September, making it one of the first commercial deployments of teleoperation technology in the country.

that's not going to stop the flood of fans from opposing schools getting lost on their way to kyle field

They should make rock trucks the first fleets to convert. At least the load is inert.

Their biggest hurdles in design were getting the self driving vehicles to be able to change exits at the last minute going 75 mph on the PGBT while flipping the bird to the driver next to them.

Anyone else concerned about their corporate branding?

A buddy of mine was wanting to turn in his Peterbilt when a rock hauler hung the back of his trailer and flipped the truck.
