We are designing our trucking product to address the industryʼs primary pain points

INDUSTRY PAIN POINT

Driver need and high turnover

1,200,000 additional drivers needed over the next decade1, 90%+ annual turnover for large fleets2

11h

Hours of service limitations

Traditional trucking is subject to hours of service limitations, at most 11 hours of driving at a time

High fuel costs

$5/gallon diesel average in 20263

High insurance costs

4,600 deaths in large truck accidents in 20244; Insurance premiums continue to hit new highs, increasing 7.5% on average over the last 5 years5

THE AURORA DRIVER WILL PROVIDE

Scalability; stable driver supply

Higher utilization; faster freight

Potential to reduce fuel use and

emissions by up to 32% through more efficient vehicle operations6

Safer operation; more data for fault attribution

Our Safety Case Framework is the foundation for trust in our technology, demonstrating that the Aurora Driver is acceptably safe to

operate on public roads

TOP LEVEL CLAIM

Auroraʼs self-driving vehicles are acceptably safe to operate on public roads

Fail-Safe

Resilient

Continuously Improving

We successfully closed our Safety Case to commence driverless operations and continue to rigorously measure our work against leading industry standards.

Recently, Edge Case completed a comprehensive, independent audit of our driverless Safety Case, setting a new bar for autonomous vehicle safety assurance. As we expanded our driverless network, the assessment confirmed that our Safety Case is well-structured, aligned with industry standards, actively maintained, and backed by hard facts

Our commercial flywheel is accelerating - we now have 10 customers in our driverless cohort including two with DaaS MOUs representing 1,000 trucks

Now that we have proven the promise of our technology we are focused on rapidly increasing the value of our product for our customers and ultimately becoming an essential partner in the freight industry

14

We are expanding our driverless network to 12 routes, strategically mapped to the high-volume freight corridors our customers are prioritizing for scaled autonomous operations

Superhuman Utilization: Fort Worth - Phoenix, a 1,000+ mile route, far exceeds hours of service limitations for a traditional driver

Strategic Access: Dallas - Laredo expands our network to the nationʼs largest international trade gateway and a critical freight artery between the U.S. and Mexico. Expanding to Oklahoma City unlocks the backbone of the I35 corridor - the primary north-south artery for North American trade - linking northern industrial production with the massive consumer powerhouses of the Texas Sun Belt

15

We have continued to increase value for customers with validation of driverless operations at night and in multiple forms of inclement weather, including rain, fog, and heavy wind

Watch Video

Expanding the Aurora Driverʼs operating domain to night more than doubled truck utilization potential. Our proprietary FirstLight Lidar gives the Aurora Driver superhuman perception and a clear safety edge at night. And with an extended 1 kilometer range, our next generation FirstLight Lidar can enable more than 34 seconds to react when at highway speeds, setting a new standard for safety

Lidar & Radar

During 2025, inclement weather of all types constrained our driverless operations in Texas roughly 40% of the time. Recent software releases drive a step-change in potential availability and utilization across the Sun Belt, a core component of our value proposition. Here our multi-modal sensor suite maintains high-confidence detection in dense fog, identifying vehicles and objects where human vision, as well as camera-only architectures

16 reach their physical limits

In November, the Aurora Driver will be operating directly to sites for several driverless customers, including automated navigation through security checkpoints and weigh stations along the routes

Over the coming months, we will begin site-to-site driverless operations for the majority of our customers.

WATCHVIDEO

With our weigh station traversal capability, the Aurora Driver can now autonomously determine if a station is open, navigate to an available scale lane, and adapt to different scale configurations. This capability makes it easier for customers to integrate the Aurora Driver into their networks.

17

To ensure seamless

end-to-end service, we are piloting on-route fueling at truck stops

Navigating these environments requires many of the same advanced surface street capabilities we have already refined; for example, on the 7 miles the Aurora Driver navigates to and from the highway in Houston. The video linked below demonstrates the Aurora Driverʼs proficiency in these complex,

lower-speed settings
