Nat Beuse is inspired by saving lives. Before coming to Aurora, he oversaw automated-vehicle developments for the Department of Transportation and led the safety team at Uber ATG.
There are some undeniable truths in life: death, taxes, and the fact that you can’t pursue self-driving vehicles if you don’t have lidar that has long-range sensing capabilities and a cost-effective way to scale.
At Aurora, we build the right tools for the right problems. Here’s how we’re auto-generating the hundreds of thousands of virtual tests needed to rapidly develop and deploy the Aurora Driver.
Today, Aurora is excited to become part of that vision and announce our latest milestone: a long-term, global, and strategic collaboration with Toyota and Denso, one of the largest global manufacturers and tier-one automotive suppliers, respectively, to build and globally deploy self-driving cars at scale.
Today we’re excited to share we’ve reached a significant milestone in delivering our first product, a driverless truck.
Despite the challenges of 2020, we not only continued to make tremendous progress towards delivering the benefits of self-driving technology to the world, but also felt emboldened in our pursuit towards a safer, more efficient future.
Although 2020 was challenging and tumultuous from a global perspective, I am proud of how our team pulled together to have our most impressive year yet.
