This week’s podcast guest is David Keene, CEO of Aurrigo, who discusses how autonomous driving will progress in the UK, how a chance encounter pivoted his company’s entire market and the journey of turning grant funding into an initial public offering.
Aurrigo is an autonomous driving company that specialises in vehicles for the aviation industry, including self-driving baggage carriers.
The Coventry-based company was founded in 2017, initially focussed on autonomous passenger vehicles.
A call from the head of innovation at International Airlines Group, convinced Keene that the future of Aurrigo’s technology was in supporting aviation. The group listed publicly on London’s AIM market in 2022.
