Aurora Innovation said Monday it has hired Ossa Fisher as president as the autonomous vehicle company prepares to commercially launch its self-driving trucks business next year.\nThe company said Fisher, who was most recently president and chief operating officer of education tech company Istation, will be based in Dallas.\nFisher’s experience building up and running a commercial business will balance out the more technical backgrounds of Aurora’s three founders, according to a company spokesperson.\nThe hiring comes about a year ahead of the company’s planned commercial launch by the end of 2024.\nAurora Innovation said in November it had enough money to continue to develop its autonomous vehicle technology until its commercial launch.The company closed the third quarter with about $1.2 billion in cash and short-term investments.
