Self-driving car startup Aurora might be as buzzy as they come. The company raised more than $530 million just a few months ago in a round led by Sequoia Capital and with “significant investment” from Amazon and T. Rowe Price Associates. We’ve learned Aurora isn’t shy about using that capital with two acquisitions in the books.

But how, when and where will Aurora’s autonomous vehicle technology end up? Lia Theodosiou-Pisanelli, who leads product development and program management for all of Aurora’s partnerships, will join us on stage at TC Sessions: Mobility to give us the scoop.

Theodosiou-Pisanelli has had an up close view of the autonomous vehicle industry. Prior to joining Aurora this spring, she was director of business development for Lyft’s self-driving technology business Level 5.

Her background in global government relations at Square as well as a U.S. Trade Representative at the White House, gives Theodosiou-Pisanelli’s insight into how policy and regulations are shaped and might eventually affect the autonomous vehicle industry.

TC Sessions: Mobility will be held July 10 in San Jose. The agenda is packed with some of the biggest names and most exciting startups in the transportation industry, including Mobilieye co-founder and CEO Amnon Shashua, Alisyn Malek with May Mobility, Dmitri Dolgov at Waymo, Karl Iagnemma of Aptiv, Seleta Reynolds of the Los Angeles Department of Transportation, and Ford Motor CTO Ken Washington.
