Toyota and Aurora are testing self-driving cars in Texas, USA.
Sina Tech News, early morning of March 24, Beijing time: According to reports, Toyota and U.S.-based autonomous driving system developer Aurora have begun testing self-driving cars in Texas, USA. The vehicles will primarily be used for ride-hailing services, and the tests are being conducted with two safety operators on board—but no passengers.
Two companies have integrated Aurora's autonomous driving system into the Sienna (configuration | inquiry) vehicles, preparing to test them on both highways and rural roads—as well as on routes leading to airports. While R&D investment in autonomous driving remains substantial, startups have so far struggled to generate sufficient revenue from this technology. Moreover, scaling up their autonomous vehicle fleets continues to face significant technical challenges.
Aurora will continue to add self-driving vehicles to its fleet, paving the way for the launch of a commercial ride-hailing network—similar to Uber—that has the potential to generate substantial revenue. In 2020, Aurora acquired Uber’s autonomous driving division, while Uber gained a 26% stake in Aurora.
