To see the world through the #AuroraDriver’s “eyes” and accelerate autonomy development, we’ve designed an extremely fast, decentralized autonomy visualization tool called Lightbox, allowing our engineers to move 10x faster.
At Aurora, we are continuously innovating in lidar sensor development, allowing our autonomous vehicles to see lidar points from farther away, faster, and with greater precision than ever before.
As a tech lead on the Motion Planning team, I oversee the Aurora Driver’s highway and surface street capabilities.
In our Q2 2022 Business Review call this week, we unveiled a first look at our Aurora Horizon Product Roadmap and shared exciting progress updates on everything from safety to new autonomy capabilities and customer pilots.
To deliver a scalable, commercially viable product, we’ve structured our business around three core components: autonomy technology, vehicle platform, and commercial operations. Our roadmap charts a path for these key components and the dependencies of our business.
A fault occurs when some part of the Aurora Driver’s system or the vehicle it’s controlling becomes impaired. A fault could include anything from an obstructed camera to a blown tire or an anomaly in the code of an autonomy sub-system.
Though National Safety Month is in June, safety is never in the rearview mirror at Aurora. We’re reflecting on everything our team learned and shared last month, and how we’ll carry these lessons forward.
