Aurora Innovation Inc. (NASDAQ:AUR) reported its FY 2025 results on February 11, with full-year revenue coming in at $3.0 million, below the Visible Alpha consensus of $3.6 million. Notably, this is the first full year of recognized revenue following the start of commercial driverless operations in May 2025. The company spent $745 million on research and development, which, along with other expenses, resulted in a loss from operations of $901 million in 2025.

While revenue lagged expectations, management's commentary was upbeat as they expect to achieve positive free cash flow in 2028 with currently available liquidity. With its new software release, the company's driverless network is poised to triple, and it plans to operate a fleet of more than 200 driverless trucks by the end of 2026. The company's co-founder and CEO, Chris Urmson, summarized the progress by saying, “The era of superhuman logistics has arrived.”

Consensus estimates from before the results projected revenue would increase significantly to $3.1 billion by 2030, including $2.4 billion from transportation. As efficiency, uptime, and adoption improve, the truck fleet is expected to grow to 12,248 vehicles, with revenue per truck rising to nearly $3.5 million. A late 2026 commercial debut is anticipated for Aurora Innovation, Inc. (NASDAQ:AUR)’s autonomous ride-hailing technology, which is being developed utilizing Toyota Sienna minivans. Analysts predict that after the Aurora Driver system is integrated across service installations, revenue will climb from $1 million in 2026 to $984 million by 2030.
