Autonomous trucks, meet Wall Street. Einride, the Swedish self-driving startup, is hitting the public markets via SPAC, just weeks after raising $100M.

Sounds like a fast track to somewhere! Do you think these kinds of deep-tech companies are ready for public scrutiny?

Super cool engineering post on ML!

Machine learning (ML) models form the backbone of autonomous vehicle (AV) development. Everything from perception to motion planning is powered in part by the datasets and models developed in a cycle commonly referred to as the β€œData Engine.”

Aurora’s Data Engine: How we accelerate machine learning model workflows

Everything from perception to motion planning is powered in part by the datasets and models developed in a cycle commonly referred to as the β€œData Engine.” Our ability to quickly and safely develop, deploy, and continuously improve our self-driving technology is largely dependent upon the efficiency and speed of this lifecycle.
