FedEx Corp has expanded its pilot programme using self-driving HGVs to move goods between hubs in Texas.
The Aurora self-driving technology is set up on Peterbilt 579 HGVs.
As of March this year, the HGVs have been doing a 520 mile run between Aurora’s terminals in Fort Worth and El Paso.
The vehicles have a safety driver on board and the trips are done once a week, but this is set to increase. At the same time, FedEx is continuing to move goods between its South Dallas terminal and its new Houston terminal.
