On October 16, Aurora Innovation rose 5.34% in Regular Trading, trading at $5.325 per share, with turnover of $102 million.
The move coincided with renewed market attention on a five-year US regulatory exemption allowing autonomous trucks to use cab-mounted warning beacons instead of traditional reflective triangles when stopped.
The exemption is not exclusive to Aurora Innovation and also applies to other autonomous trucking companies. Companies must notify the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration before using it and report crashes occurring while the beacons are activated or should have been activated. In context, the development appears more relevant to improving operating convenience and regulatory feasibility for driverless trucking than to fundamentally changing the company’s financial outlook.
