On that note, the entire team at Autosphere Media would like to take this opportunity to wish you a very Happy Holiday Season and Successful and Prosperous 2026 !

Editor’s Choice Story for 2025

It was hard to select an editor’s choice news story this year, but after much deliberation we settled on the story below. Autonomous trucks have been a hot topic of discussion for many years, but the recent announcement of Aurora Innovation partnering with Detmar Logistics was very significant. The two companies have reached a milestone in having frac sand autonomously transported on public roads in the Permian Basin. Next year, Detmar will be employing a fleet of 30 trucks using Aurora Driver technology and this represents a major step forward in the adoption of truly autonomous heavy truck operations in North America.
