Self-driving technology company Aurora will begin piloting trucks loaded with its software this week to haul goods for U.S. package delivery firm FedEx Corp. between Dallas and Houston, albeit with a safety driver.

Aurora, which is led by former heads of self-driving programs at Google Inc., Uber Inc., and Tesla Inc., added on Wednesday it is aiming for trucks without a safety driver by late 2023.
