Hyundai, VW partner Aurora Innovation

Hyundai and Volkswagen each say they’re partnering with a US autonomous vehicle tech firm led by former executives from Google, Tesla and Uber. On Thursday, the companies announced partnerships with Aurora Innovation, started last year by ex-Google autonomous car chief Chris Urmson and others. VW says its collaboration will help bring self-driving cars to roads worldwide quickly, while autonomous Hyundais are expected to be on the market by 2021.
