At their highs, five electric vehicle startups that went public through mergers with special purpose acquisition companies were worth $60 billion. The corrections that followed have been brutal.
Wearing 3D glasses and sitting at the flight operations console in Pasadena, California, Carnegie Mellon University graduate Vandi Verma (
pictured at right) studies the contours and rocks that litter a barren landscape no human has ever visited. With a series of keystrokes and careful planning, she puts a six-wheeled, 2,260-pound vehicle in motion, 130 million miles away from Mission Operations at NASA s Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL).
Verma is one of only a handful of people who drive Perseverance, the newest rover on Mars. And for the past few weeks, she has been a part of the team that is sending the Ingenuity helicopter on its historic flights.
Autonomous vehicle pioneers Karl Iagnemma and Chris Urmson are coming to TC Sessions: Mobility 2021
Long before the multimillion-dollar acquisitions and funding rounds pushed autonomous vehicles to the top of the hype cycle,
Karl Iagnemma and
Chris Urmson were researching and, later, developing the foundations of the technology.
These pioneers Iagnemma coming from MIT, Urmson from Carnegie Mellon University would eventually go on to launch their own autonomous vehicle startups in an aim to finally bring years of R&D to the public.
That task isn’t over quite yet. Urmson, who is co-founder and CEO of Aurora, and Iagnemma, who is president and CEO of Motional, are still working on unlocking the technical and business problems that stand in the way of commercialization.
