Aurora made massive headlines last week announcing its acquisition of Uber ATG to accelerate its autonomous vehicle technology development right here in Pittsburgh.

We are excited to welcome Gerardo Interiano, Head of Government Relations at Aurora, to provide more insight on the acquisition and what it means to Pittsburgh's tech ecosystem. Gerardo will also expand more on Aurora's commitment to grow in the region as we move into 2021.

Aurora, founded in 2017, is delivering the benefits of self-driving technology safely, quickly and broadly. The company is building the Aurora Driver, a platform that brings together software, hardware and data services to operate passenger vehicles, light commercial vehicles, and heavy-duty trucks across a range of applications.
