Why Aurora's Driverless Trucks Are the Future Revolutionizing Freight:
Pittsburgh-based tech startup Aurora Innovation is poised to redefine the trucking industry with its ambitious plans to mass-produce driverless haul trucks by 2027. Partnering with German auto parts manufacturer Continental, Aurora is set to unleash a fleet of self-driving trucks that promises to revolutionize freight transport, offering unmatched efficiency, safety, and economic viability.
Aurora's Trailblazing Technology
At the heart of Aurora's groundbreaking venture is its autonomous technology, the Aurora Driver. Unlike many players in the self-driving industry, Aurora's driver can operate a diverse range of vehicles, from four-door sedans to Class 8 semi trucks. The company already boasts a fleet of 30 autonomous haul trucks in operation in Texas, making 75 deliveries a week for esteemed clients such as FedEx and Uber Freight.
While the current trucks are not entirely "driverless," with an operations specialist on board as a safety measure, Aurora aims to achieve full autonomy by the end of 2024. The company plans to have 19 trucks driving the 240-mile stretch from Houston to Dallas without any human intervention, marking a significant milestone in the autonomous trucking sector.
Addressing Industry Challenges
Aurora positions itself as a solution to the challenges faced by the trucking industry, including the 11-hour daily maximum limit imposed on human drivers by the US Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. By automating the freight transport process, Aurora aims to enhance efficiency and overcome the industry-wide problem of low truck driver retention due to inadequate take-home pay.
The company's move to mass-produce its vehicles by 2027 aligns perfectly with the current industry dynamics, offering a potential remedy to the shortage of qualified human drivers. If successful, Aurora could achieve what few autonomous trucking startups have managed thus far – operating at scale and turning a profit.
Strategic Partnerships for Success
Aurora's collaboration with Continental, Volvo, and PACCAR signifies a strategic approach to manufacturing and integrating hardware. Between 2024 and 2025, Continental will manufacture hardware for testing, with production scaling up in 2025. Aurora's partnerships for truck bodies with Volvo and PACCAR further emphasize the comprehensive approach to building a robust ecosystem for autonomous trucking.
Aurora's Vision for the Future
In a statement, Aurora CEO Chris Urmson highlighted the importance of building a strong ecosystem of partners to bring this transformative technology to market safely and at a commercial scale. Finalizing the design of the future hardware marks a meaningful step toward making the unit economics of the Aurora Driver compelling and building a business for the long-term.
Conclusion: Embracing the Future of Trucking
As Aurora Innovation and Continental finalize the design of their autonomous trucking system, the future of freight transport is taking shape. With ambitious plans, strategic partnerships, and a commitment to safety and transparency, Aurora is urging buyers and industry stakeholders to embrace the future of trucking – one where efficiency, safety, and profitability converge in autonomous glory.

Continental CON Long term bullish cycleOur probability indicator has observed Long Term BOS (Break-of-Structure) on Daily TF.
Essentially what that means is that we closing in on bearish cycle for XETR:CON and new bullish leg is forming for longterm continuation of new bullish cycle.

Take-Profit should be set within High resistance zone 114.50 - 139.30
Miles under your tire...This tire producer looks juicy. Seems like it is building an inverted head and shoulder pattern. This is generally a end of trend pattern. And looks like we build a wide double bottom with the lows in Mach 2020 and September 2022.
It' worth a buy in my humble opinion.
I see a potential target at €115.
Get out the #MinkCoat #SHA #Schaeffler #tradingviewWhen things don't run smoothly and all the strings/credit lines are torn,
then take a look in one of the wardrobe,
maybe the mink coat from 2009 is still hanging there.
Last year after the almost doubling, the air was out @schaeffler share.
Now, wait and see where the course reaction takes place and then
get back in.
However, a dividend should not be paid for the next 2-3 years!

CONTINENTAL (CON) | Old Strong Resistance Level Becomes Support.Hi,
Continental Aktiengesellschaft (CON) develops products, systems, and services for customers in various industries worldwide. The company operates through Chassis & Safety, Powertrain, Interior, Tires, and ContiTech segments.
The undervalued stock price will indicate an increase from $90-$100:
1) Old clean resistance levels start to act as a support level.
2) Monthly 200 Moving Average should act as a support level.
3) The round number $100 adding strength to the marked area.
4) Fibonacci Retracement 62%.
5) The minor trendline should work as a support level.
6) Slight RSI DIvergence.
Definitely, do your own fundamental research and if this matching with my technical analysis viewpoints then you are ready to go! If it doesn't match then...skip it!!
Good luck,
Vaido
