Berkshire-Hathaway's McLane Expands Driverless Trucking Routes in 2023

Berkshire Hathaway's (BRK.A) McLane is set to expand its autonomous freight routes across the U.S. Sun Belt by year-end using technology from Aurora Innovation. In 2023, the existing pilot program logged 280,000 autonomous miles in Texas, delivering 1,400 loads. McLane operates over 80 distribution centers in the U.S. and plans new routes between Dallas and Houston with 'supervised' autonomous technology. The use of Aurora Driver software-powered trucks aims to enhance supply chain efficiency while maintaining human oversight during deliveries.
