Adding the first presidential ride in an autonomous vehicle to our list of accomplishments!

We were proud to give former President @BarackObama a safe and novel ride in an Aurora Driver-powered car, showcasing his trust in our commitment to safety.

We’re building self-driving products to change the way people and goods move for the better. We embrace the responsibility to build this technology safely.

We're proud to partner with the Pittsburgh Technical College to build up the robotics engineers of the future.

Complex construction zones can be confusing, even for experienced drivers. That’s why we safely develop the #AuroraDriver’s on-road capabilities by combining the expertise of professional drivers with practice scenarios in simulation. Take a look:

[Aurora @aurora_inno]

Last summer, we released an industry-first Safety Case Framework for autonomous semi-trucks and passenger vehicles, and now we’re unpacking what this approach means and how we show our AVs are safe enough for public roads. Welcome to Safety Case 101.

@pete_gould Very bold gesture

[Aurora @aurora_inno]

Driver assistance & autonomous driving are fundamentally different systems. It’s dangerous to conflate the two. The #AuroraDriver will be able to safely move people and goods without anybody behind the wheel – very different from ADAS which requires human supervision at all times

[Chan @chanalytic]

Companies that don’t have simulation capabilities will need to invest in the difficult work of building high-fidelity, sensor-realistic simulation, without which addressing challenging edge cases will become prohibitively difficult. —@chris_urmson, Aurora

@kairyssdal is this you?

[Chan @chanalytic]

@pete_gould Unlikely, see “host of other reasons”

[Chan @chanalytic]

@pete_gould Sorry not sorry

[Chan @chanalytic]

@pete_gould Yes, but only during Infrastructure Week?

[Kate Farrar @kateforct]

It’s election day! I voted, are you planning on voting today?

Thank you to everyone who supported and who were a part of #TeamKate! I hope to earn your vote in Box 2B for State Rep in todays Democratic Primary!

@pete_gould Technically the trees were docked until some Mother came by and knocked them over, leaving them everywhere...

“During the height of COVID-19, KATE FARRAR reached out to check in on me and hundreds of other seniors in our community. Kate is exactly the kind of person I want at the State Capitol looking out for all of us.”

@pete_gould Definitely better than what S. Korea did https://t.co/T7gRMXD4GJ
