Aurora will test its fleet of self-driving cars and semi trucks in Texas

The Lone Star State is an official hotbed of AV activity

Texas is now firmly one of the top states in the US for AV testing. In addition to Aurora, the state is also playing host to Ford / Argo, Uber, self-driving truck startup TuSimple, and Waymo, as well as a remote-operated driverless shuttle in service at Texas A&M University. AV startup Drive.ai also operated in the Dallas region before going bust and getting acquired by Apple.

I rode a self-driving Uber in Vegas last December, it worked pretty well but the vehicle tenders in the car said it was all hand-built to work on the strip and they didn't (at the time) have a good way to scale out to other cities. Interested to see how it goes

Texas A&M University is modifying its self-driving pilot program in the city of Bryan, Texas, to have humans remotely monitor and operate the shuttles starting in September, making it one of the first commercial deployments of teleoperation technology in the country.
