Greg Rogers sat down with Chris Urmson, CEO and Co-Founder of Aurora, at AVS 2019 for a wide-ranging discussion on the evolution of the AV industry, the importance of public education, and the regulatory landscape for AVs. Chris Urmson has been involved in automated vehicles since the DARPA Grand Challenges and Urban Challenges in the 2000s that birthed the modern AV industry and was instrumental in starting Google's Self-Driving Car Project (now Waymo). After seven and a half years at Google, Chris started a new AV company, Aurora, which has rapidly expanded to nearly 300 employees in the past two years and attracted investments from Hyundai, Kia, and Amazon.Learn more about Aurora here: https://aurora.tech/And follow Chris Urmson on Twitter: @chris_urmsonAs always, you can also keep up with the Mobility Podcast on Twitter: @MobilityPodcast, @AVGregR, @SharedMobilityS, @SmarterTranspo.
