We’re on a mission to deliver the benefits of self-driving – safely, quickly, and broadly.

Enabling a strong American supply chain where autonomy supplements human-driven fleets, and where accidents on the road are a rarity.

Founded by visionaries.

Our CEO, Chris Urmson, is widely recognized as one of the earliest pioneers in the self-driving industry. After two decades leading autonomous vehicle programs at Carnegie Mellon and Google, Chris co-founded Aurora in 2017 with Drew Bagnell and Sterling Anderson to deliver the benefits of self-driving technology.
