Thoughts on Aurora?
Supposedly they are raising a huge series B (500 mil) and I’m hearing they have the strongest Eng team of all the AV startups. Curious what others think of them.
They’re golden for the foreseeable future assuming they continue to suckle on the VC teet. Bad news if they try to IPO anytime this year and likely next year.
I mean... I’m biased... but yes, not just the strongest eng team and founders in the industry, but also amazing culture. We’re all quite optimistic :)
Strongest engineering team? According to what? Not saying these aren't talented and smart people but that's obviously subjective.

huge risk. (huge reward)
