Nuro, a leader in autonomous technology, visited the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) on Tuesday, October 29, 2024 as part of its National AI Data Collection Initiative. This visit provided an opportunity for Nuro to explore potential collaborations with TTI while showcasing the company’s latest innovations in autonomous vehicle technology.
During the visit, Nuro shared details around its recently announced expansion to help automotive OEMs and mobility providers accelerate autonomous vehicle development through the Nuro Driver™ platform—an advanced system that combines automotive-grade hardware with AI-powered software to enable up to Level 4 autonomy on both mobility platforms and personal vehicles.
The day’s activities included a tour and data collection around the Texas A&M RELLIS Campus, along with presentations and discussions on joint research projects, such as the Smarter Intersections Pilot and the Transforming Roads Unleashing Smart Technologies (TRUST) V2X project. These collaborations are expected to pave the way for advancements in smart infrastructure, vehicle connectivity, and the future of transportation.
“We are thrilled to be collaborating with TTI to advance autonomous technology and innovative transportation solutions to all road users,” said Katie Stevens, Head of Policy at Nuro. “By bringing together leading researchers from TTI with our team, we hope to foster new partnerships that lead to safer roads for all.”
Nuro’s visit not only underscores the growing importance of autonomous technology in the transportation sector, but also emphasizes the critical importance of making safety the core principle. Significantly — with more than one million autonomous miles completed across its fleet of R&D vehicles and zero autonomous at-fault incidents — the Nuro Driver has demonstrated its reliability and commitment to safety in real-world conditions.
“TTI has a tremendous relationship with Nuro,” said TTI Agency Director Greg Winfree. “We’ve worked closely together over the years and couldn’t be more pleased to see how they’ve evolved from a delivery concept to the advanced technologies you see here today—tools that will soon help OEMs bring automated vehicles into our transportation future.”
