Seeing with Superhuman Clarity: The Physics and Architecture Behind the Aurora Driver’s Perception System

When you’re operating an 80,000-pound truck at 65 mph, every extra meter of visibility matters. Longer detection range gives the Aurora Driver more time to react and more space to maneuver safely. Highway-speed autonomy demands perception that can consistently detect and track low-reflectivity hazards hundreds of meters ahead with performance that remains consistent even when lighting, road geometry, or weather make visibility difficult. The Aurora Driver is built to meet those demands with…
