Editorial summaries

Aurora Driver on Peterbilt 579 (PACCAR)

Aurora's driverless commercial freight runs the Aurora Driver (L4) on PACCAR trucks (Peterbilt 579 and Kenworth T680), hauling paid commercial freight on Texas lanes since May 2025. There is no consumer price: this is B2B autonomous freight, not a consumer product. The verified-vs-claimed nuance: the trucks are genuinely driverless (the Aurora Driver operates the vehicle), but Aurora reinstated an OEM-requested in-cab observer at PACCAR's request in May 2025: the observer is not a safety driver. Recorded at commercial maturity on verified paid-freight operations.

Plus SuperDrive Autonomous Truck

Plus's autonomous-truck product is the SuperDrive L4 virtual driver, factory-integrated into OEM truck platforms (International LT-series, IVECO S-Way, and Hyundai hydrogen fuel-cell trucks) rather than a standalone branded truck. TRATON selected SuperDrive as its on-highway AV platform in January 2026. There is no consumer price: this is a B2B OEM-integrated autonomy product.

The verified-vs-claimed nuance: although the system is described as L4, it is currently in supervised fleet trials with safety drivers, pre driver-out; full driverless operation is not yet verified. Recorded at pilot maturity.
