Detecting and avoiding a ladder in the road

The Aurora Driver recognizes a ladder in the road over 150 meters away and proactively maneuvers around it.

We’ve trained the Aurora Driver to safely respond to all kinds of road debris. 

In this video, the Aurora Driver encounters a ladder in the road—a large object that could potentially damage our truck or other vehicles. The Aurora Driver detects the ladder from over 150 meters away and proactively maneuvers to avoid it, behaving the same way a trained commercial driver would have handled this scenario.
