Aurora Moves Autonomous Trucking from Pilot to Revenue Operations with Berkshire's McLane

Aurora has started fully driverless freight runs between Dallas and Houston for McLane, a major Berkshire Hathaway-owned distributor serving restaurants and retailers. The deployment marks the shift from a 2023 pilot to commercial operations without safety drivers. McLane plans to expand routes across Texas and into Oklahoma City by year-end 2026. Aurora competes with Waymo Via, offering autonomous services rather than owning fleets—a capital-light model focused on software and sensors.
