AI Stocks Dominate Wednesday’s 10 Worst Performers

5. Aurora Innovation Inc. (NASDAQ:AUR)

Aurora Innovation declined by 9.07 percent on Wednesday to end at $7.12 apiece as investors repositioned portfolios ahead of the launch of its driverless trucks, allowing its vehicles to operate without a driver even in harsh weather.

In a statement, AUR said it is now in the final stages of launching its commercial self-driving trucking service in Texas scheduled for next month.

It released a Driverless Safety Report, which explains how AUR’s safety approach affects every part of its organization and how best practices from other safety-critical industries inform internal processes.

The autonomous trucks are expected to begin operating on public roads in Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona this year, adhering to speed limits ranging between 25 miles and 75 miles per hour.

It added that the trucks will function day and night, in suburban and urban areas, dense traffic, and in highway construction zones with cones and barriers.
