News Summary

Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi has resigned from the board of Aurora Innovation, a self-driving truck startup, to concentrate on his duties at Uber and reduce his external board roles. Khosrowshahi has been associated with Aurora since Uber transferred its self-driving unit, Uber ATG, to Aurora in 2020, along with a $400 million investment, securing a 26% stake in the company. Despite his resignation, Uber maintains its connection with Aurora through its Uber Freight platform, which will continue its multi-year collaboration with Aurora to deploy autonomous trucks. Shailen Bhatt from AtkinsRéalis will replace Khosrowshahi on Aurora’s board.
