If an 18-wheeler blows a tire with no one in the cab, what happens next? On this episode of Opening Bid Unfiltered, Aurora CEO Chris Urmson walks through exactly how their autonomous trucks handle real-world failures, bad weather, and thousand-mile routes between Fort Worth and Phoenix. He explains why he believes self-driving semis can actually upgrade trucking jobs instead of killing them, and what it will take for regulators, shippers, and everyday drivers to trust the tech rolling down America’s highways.
