## Description

Aurora Innovation has stated it expects to have more than 200 autonomous trucks operating across the Sun Belt by the end of 2026, with potential expansion to 1,000+ the following year. The company is running driverless trucks for 1,000 miles at a time with no human driver behind the wheel and plans expansion to Nevada, Louisiana and Florida in 2026. Meanwhile, Gatik completed 60,000 driverless orders for Walmart and Bot Auto is launching humanless Houston-Dallas freight runs with Ryan Transportation. This market tracks whether Aurora hits its stated deployment target.

## Resolution criteria

Resolves YES if Aurora Innovation publicly reports, in an earnings call, SEC filing, press release or credible trade press interview, that it has 200 or more autonomous trucks in commercial freight operation (carrying paying customer loads, not test miles) by December 31, 2026. Resolves NO if Aurora does not report reaching 200 trucks by that date, or if the company revises the target downward.
