Aurora Innovation pushes back the start of driverless freight trucks to April 2024.
Reading
Aurora, a company that makes self-driving trucks, is delaying its plans. They were going to start using trucks without drivers this year, but now they will start in April of next year.
The company says they need more time to make sure the trucks are safe. They are still working on how the trucks drive on city streets and highways.
Aurora's CEO, Chris Urmson, says they want to be very sure the trucks are safe before they use them without drivers. They will start with a small number of trucks and then add more later.
Even though they are delaying their plans, Aurora says it will not cost them much more money. They still plan to have enough money to start their business of using self-driving trucks.
After they start using trucks without drivers between Dallas and Houston, Aurora plans to do the same thing in other places. They want to start using driverless trucks between Fort Worth and Phoenix in 2025.
