Comment on The first driverless semis have started running regular longhaul routes | CNN Business

The one article I heard on TechLinked talked about them using lidarr.
So better in every way than a tesla.
Assuming they are top mounted, they have a better scanning coverage than a regular car.

  Since 2020, Aurora has been deploying Class 8 trucks integrated with its Aurora Driver technology, which contains its proprietary LiDAR. To date, Aurora Driver has traversed over 1,200 miles without a driver present. As the company looked to launch driverless trucks as a service called “Aurora Horizon” in 2024, we reported it had secured $820 million in additional funding to help it reach commercial operations.

  The Aurora Driver, with proprietary FirstLight lidar that can see over 450 meters ahead, has the ability to spot and react to pedestrians up to 11 seconds sooner than human drivers at highway speeds at night.
