General Motors (GM) announced the appointment of Sterling Anderson, co-founder and Chief Product Officer of autonomous trucking company Aurora (AUR), as executive VP, global product, and Chief Product Officer. “Our customers are expecting more from our vehicles than ever before,” said GM President Mark Reuss. “We have an opportunity to evolve the way we build from the ground up, with tighter integration between software and hardware, shorter development cycles, and an unwavering focus on a seamless customer experience. Sterling brings decades of leadership in automotive engineering and transformative software innovation to his new role and is the right leader to help GM continue leading now and into the future.” Before co-founding Aurora in 2017, Anderson worked at Tesla (TSLA), where he led both the Model X program and the team that delivered Tesla Autopilot, GM noted.
