Today Aurora shared our perspective on why, how, and when we leverage simulation in our virtual testing of the Aurora Driver. Unlike the industry players using game engines for simulation, we’ve actually developed our own solution for analyzing system performance through simulated autonomous driving scenarios. We call our solution the offline executor – and it’s just one example of the tools we’re creating expressly for developing the Aurora Driver safely and quickly.

This week we had the chance to highlight the work of many of Aurora’s women when we hosted a Girl Geek X event in our San Francisco office. Thank you to the many wonderful women and men who attended. Here's a recap of the top 10 things we learned.
One of our founding engineers, Asta Li, spoke at Amazon's re:MARS conference about the challenges and opportunities of applying machine learning to self-driving tech. Watch it here: http://glassdoor.com/slink.htm?key=vMFS3
We’re pleased to share continued progress with our partner the Hyundai Group, including their investment in our Series B, which is now more than $600M.
We’re excited to announce that we have signed an agreement with FCA US to lay the groundwork for a powerful partnership in self-driving commercial vehicles.
We’ve long said the safest approach to building self-driving technology is with different sensors – cameras, radar, and of course, lidar. Today we’re pleased to announce Aurora plans to acquire the industry-leading lidar company, Blackmore.
Since being founded a little over two years ago, Aurora has grown to more than 250 people with employees across offices in Palo Alto, San Francisco, and Pittsburgh. Today we’re pleased to welcome new leaders to Aurora who will head up Government Relations, Regulatory, User Experience, and Partner Products and Programs. These roles will lead Aurora’s efforts as we partner with government organizations on future regulations, form partnerships as part of a broader transportation ecosystem, and build a brand-new experience for those who ride in vehicles powered by the Aurora Driver.
“Ultimately people are going to trust us with their lives. We need to be worthy of that trust.” Read more about our approach to safety in Aurora's Safety Report: http://glassdoor.com/slink.htm?key=vMv8U
Our founder and CTO Sterling Anderson chatted with TechCrunch about how we think about on-road driving and offline testing tools, including simulation. See the full talk below.
