What will happen when Aurora’s perfect safety track record one it gets broken?

Aurora is by far the safest autonomous trucking solution on the market today with zero at fault accidents to date.

But as they 10x, 100x, 1000x their miles, it increases the odds of there being:

  1. An accident with no fatalities, aurora not at fault
  2. An accident with no fatalities, aurora at fault
  3. An accident with fatalities, aurora not at fault
  4. An accident with fatalities, aurora at fault

#4 is the most worrying from a business perspective (and also human life perspective).

The trucking industry is already hesitant about aurora replacing jobs, can you imagine the headlines and pushback if Aurora driver kills a driver and is at fault?

I’m asking this question to see what others think will happen to the company and its stock price.

Do you think there’s a chance we shut down like cruise did? Do you think stock price sharply -50%? Interested in hearing your thoughts.
