The North American division
of Fiat Chrysler, FCA, and autonomous driving startup Aurora signed an agreement to develop and deploy self-driving commercial vehicles.
Aurora, founded in 2017, has developed a self-driving
platform called Aurora Driver, which includes the hardware, software and data services to create what is known as Level 4 autonomy, a level at which a driver can still take over control of the
vehicle.
The partnership provides that FCA and Aurora will integrate the Aurora Driver into FCA commercial vehicle lines.
"As part of FCA's autonomous vehicle strategy, we will
continue to work with strategic partners to address the needs of customers in a rapidly changing industry," states Mike Manley, CEO of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. "Aurora brings a unique skillset
combined with advanced and purposeful technology that complements and enhances our approach to self-driving."
