Self-driving-car pioneer and Aurora chief executive Chris Urmson insists driverless trucks won't put people out of jobs—even as he moves full speed ahead with his company's self-driving software.
What were some of the bottlenecks that you experienced at Google that informed the way that you're building Aurora?Things we thought about were, while it's important to be driving out on the road to understand what's happening out there and, to some degree, really, you can't get to enough scale in driving on the road to build confidence in the safety of the system alone. And so we invested in simulation technology, which is the heart of how we develop our system.
And so, you know in the future, if you're one of our customers, you'll call up PACCAR or Volvo, the other truck company that we work with today, and you'll say, we wanna buy one of those trucks and we'd like to buy it with the Aurora Driver installed on it, and then you'll pay Aurora as we drive the truck for you, much like you do today.So it seems like safety is really at the core of what you're striving for here, and safety in particular with self-driving semi-trucks.
