Self-driving trucks are closer to Main Street than you think


Opening Bid Unfiltered is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.

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.

This post was written by Langston Sessoms, producer for Opening Bid Unfiltered.
