Aurora Innovation is moving a step closer to feature complete status and validating its automated driving system with the release of its Driver Beta 5.0
Another new feature of Beta 5.0 is detection and response to emergency vehicles, something that Tesla has notoriously had problems with on its AutoPilot system. The system knows if it is being pulled over as well as if emergency vehicles are approaching from behind, the vehicle will pull over to provide clearance.
“When people talk about the value of this kind of hive mind setup, what they under appreciate is the fact that a map is a primary nexus for that mind, it’s a means by which multiple vehicles give each other, feed each other information as to weather events, road closures, construction situations, they have to deal with a variety of other things,” adds Anderson.
Like Waymo, Aurora is developing its automated driver on both heavy duty and light duty vehicles in parallel. The plan is to commercially launch its automated trucking subscription service in late 2024 and then follow that with a ride hailing service. For the trucking service, it is establishing hubs near highway interchanges.
