Aurora

Products: AV stack. Risk band: Elevated   RobotRisk index 32.1/100 (severity- and time-weighted incidents) · ranked 8 of 15 among AV trucking companies with incidents (93 tracked).

Analyst brief

The record contains two crash entries in close succession, April and May 2025: a brake issue causing a driverless semi to roll and strike a food truck (severity 3), and a passenger car striking a stationary driverless Aurora trailer on I-20 (severity 2). One entry involves an Aurora-side mechanical failure while the other is a third-party vehicle striking Aurora equipment, so the two events are not the same failure type. Two entries within roughly one month, following soon after driverless operations began, register as an early-operations cluster rather than a single anomaly. Aurora's index of 32.1 ranks 8 of 15 companies in AV trucking with incident history.
