We had a great time at Startup Grind, where Chris Urmson joined Mike Volpi to talk about self-driving cars, the power of lidar, and the importance of building a company based on teamwork.
We’re honoring Black History Month by highlighting brilliant pioneers who made our roads safer and paved the way for the Aurora Driver. Today, we recognize Garrett Morgan, who added the yellow warning light in traffic signals to alert drivers to slow down and prepare to stop.
When your special someone finally says those three magic words... #happyvalentinesday 💕
Aurora's values inspire the work we do and guide how we do it. Sandor Barna, Aurora’s VP of Hardware Engineering, highlights our value “Operate with Integrity” and how it drives his work. “Operating with integrity means acting with openness and honesty. Our intentions and actions are transparent. And we follow through with our commitments. At Aurora, integrity is the foundation on which we build trusting and lasting connections with our colleagues and partners. It is also the central tenet of how we build safety into the Aurora Driver. We are committed to the highest standard of engineering design.”
With the Academy Awards approaching, we’re excited to share our next "Aurora Voices" profile featuring Magnus Wrenninge, an Oscar-winning software engineer from our Perception Simulation team. Learn how Magnus went from working behind the scenes of Hollywood to working behind the virtual wheel of self-driving cars.
As we’ve said before, disengagement rates and on-road miles driven in autonomy aren't the best ways to measure progress in our industry. Check out Chris Urmson's thoughts on how we’re defining and making progress through technical velocity.
Our first "Women of Aurora" profile of 2020 features Elise LaGamba on the Vehicle Operations team! Elise shares her journey from film school to the food testing lab to self-driving cars. She also dishes on becoming a master of olive oil. That’s right, Elise is a certified olive oil sommelier.
Aurora's values inspire the work we do and guide how we do it. As we kick off the New Year, Sonya Joseph from Aurora's Recruiting team highlights our value “Set Outrageous Goals” and how it drives her work. “Growing up, I was encouraged to push the boundaries of what I wanted to accomplish. Setting outrageous goals starts with challenging the status quo and leaving behind preconceived limits. Something that has not yet been invented, proven, or achieved, does not mean it’s impossible. Each day, in ways both big and small, our team goes above and beyond to set and reach outrageous goals. Not only do we work tirelessly to drive our mission forward, we also support and motivate the people around us to succeed.”
PAVE (Partners for Automated Vehicle Education) turns 1 at CES 2020! As a founding member, we’re proud of PAVE's work and excited to build on our progress in 2020. Together, we can shape the future of transportation by increasing public knowledge about self-driving technology and its benefits.
The forecast for today is 100% chance of sweater weather. Happy Holidays from Aurora! 🎄🎁🌟
