Aurora Innovation and Kodiak AI receive California DMV permits to test autonomous trucks with safety operators
↗
Aurora Innovation and Kodiak AI have received permits from the California DMV to test autonomous heavy-duty trucks on public roads with a human safety operator present.
The permits allow both companies to shift testing from Texas back to their home state under new rules that lifted a ban on driverless vehicles over 10,000 pounds. However, the testing faces legal opposition from Teamsters California, which sued the DMV over alleged failures to study economic impacts and safety risks.
