❕ Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi resigns from self-driving truck startup Aurora’s board
Dara Khosrowshahi, CEO of Uber, has resigned from the board of Aurora Innovation, a self-driving truck startup. His decision, effective January 2, 2025, was made to focus on his responsibilities at Uber and to reduce external commitments, with no disagreements reported with Aurora. Khosrowshahi joined Aurora's board after Uber sold its self-driving unit to the company in 2020 as part of a $400 million investment deal.
Shailen Bhatt, COO for AtkinsRéalis, will replace Khosrowshahi on the board. This resignation comes shortly after Aurora's general counsel announced plans to step down. Uber maintains a collaborative relationship with Aurora through its freight platform, although it also partners with other self-driving tech companies.
