00:00Heads up, Texas drivers, something new is hitting I-45.
00:04Autonomous semi-trucks, with no humans behind the wheel, are set to begin commercial trips between Dallas and Houston.
00:10Aurora Innovation is leading the charge, launching its first fully driverless truck on this 200-mile freight route.
00:17This marks a big milestone for the trucking industry, which is facing driver shortages and rising costs.
00:23Advocates say self-driving trucks could be the answer, running 24-7 without brakes.
00:28But not everyone's on board. Critics worry about safety, job losses, and the lack of federal regulation.
00:34For now, it's just one truck. But soon, you could be sharing the road with a whole fleet.
00:39Welcome to the future of freight.
