Aurora Innovation develops self-driving technology aimed at changing how transportation works. Their main product, the Aurora Driver, can be added to different types of vehicles to allow them to drive themselves, transporting both people and goods. Aurora stands out from competitors by working closely with logistics companies, ridesharing services, and vehicle manufacturers to help them use this technology effectively. They make money by licensing the Aurora Driver to these partners, providing ongoing support and updates. A key feature of their technology is the FirstLight Lidar sensor, which helps vehicles detect their surroundings with great accuracy. Aurora's goal is to make transportation safer and more accessible for everyone.
