Aurora Innovation, the self-driving technology company, known for its cutting-edge LiDAR technology, recently opened a state-of-the-art facility on the Montana State University Innovation Campus. This new facility, built on a former dairy farm, will serve as a center for research, development, and manufacturing of the crucial LiDAR sensors that enable self-driving trucks to navigate safely and efficiently. With 70 employees already on board, Aurora is poised to significantly contribute to the growing tech sector in Montana.

Governor Greg Gianforte, himself a tech entrepreneur, enthusiastically welcomed Aurora to Bozeman, emphasizing the importance of this emerging industry for the state's future. He toured the facility, marveling at the high-tech labs and the innovative work being done by the Aurora team.

The opening of this facility marks a significant milestone for both Aurora and Bozeman. It demonstrates the growing appeal of Montana for tech companies seeking a skilled workforce and a supportive environment for innovation. As Aurora continues to push the boundaries of self-driving technology, Bozeman is undoubtedly on the path to becoming a leading center for this exciting and transformative field.
