Aurora Innovation stock jumps 10% premarket as Amazon AWS, Aumovio deal spotlights driverless trucks
Aurora Innovation, Inc. shares rose about 10% to $4.40 in premarket trading on Wednesday, adding roughly 40 cents from the prior close, after Amazon’s cloud unit and German automotive supplier Aumovio expanded a partnership linked to Aurora’s autonomous trucks. AWS will become Aumovio’s preferred cloud provider for autonomous-driving development, and the companies said the new tools are set to be used for Aurora’s planned deployment of driverless trucks at scale from 2027. “The big accelerant in the industry has been the use of engineering AI,” AWS automotive and manufacturing chief Ozgur Tohumcu told Reuters.
