Against the record

Aurora Driver, from Aurora Innovation, is at stage 4 of 5 on our ladder: paying customers. Delivered and paid for, beyond pilots. The latest milestone on its record is from 23 Sept 2026: Aurora said its trucks had driven more than 500,000 miles with no one at the wheel since the 2025 launch.

This video comes from the maker's own channel, and makers show their robots at their best. The stage above comes from dated public records, not from the video.

From the video's description

The Aurora Driver is hauling frac sand for Detmar Logistics, with nobody behind the wheel. Through heat, blowing dust, and hard miles, our second-generation hardware kit is ruggedized for tough conditions like in the Permian Basin, with a sensor cleaning system built to keep it running, and engineered for one million miles of operation
