Technology and electronics company Aumovio has selected Amazon Web Services (AWS) as its preferred cloud provider.

Aumovio hopes that the cloud computing and AI services provided by AWS will enable it to accelerate the development of self-driving vehicles.

In addition to utilizing AWS' cloud infrastructure for autonomous driving development, Aumovio will integrate agentic and generative AI capabilities into its workflows, aiming to "dramatically speed up" how quickly manufacturers can develop and test autonomous vehicles.

The solutions will also be used for the first time in a customer project, Aumovio's Aurora autonomous trucks. Production of Aurora will begin in 2027 and will also have a backup computer to ensure safety if the primary system fails. As part of the validation process for driverless operations, the Aurora Driver has satisfied more than 10,000 requirements and passed 4.5 million tests on AWS.

“Our collaboration with AWS is a cornerstone of our strategy to lead the transformation to autonomous mobility,” said Ismail Dagli, executive board member and head of the Autonomous Mobility business area at Aumovio.

“We are creating a solution that combines cloud infrastructure, AI capabilities, and automotive expertise, efficiently turning data into actionable insights across complex information environments. This collaboration is not only about accelerating development for our customers, but also about helping promote safety, efficiency, and innovation in autonomous driving.”

Self-driving vehicles require massive amounts of low-latency processing power to assess data gathered by the vehicles. Using AWS' infrastructure enables Aumovio to develop scalable solutions to rapidly process the information and identify safety patterns.

"At AWS, we believe the future of autonomous mobility isn't just about technology – it's about enabling our partners to deliver on the promise of safer, more efficient transportation at scale,” added Ozgur Tohumcu, general manager of Automotive and Manufacturing at AWS. “Our collaboration with Aumovio and Aurora exemplifies this vision, combining AWS's AI and cloud infrastructure with Aumovio's automotive expertise to help Aurora scale autonomous trucking while maintaining rigorous safety standards."

Self-driving vehicles are growing in popularity despite still lacking widespread deployment. Perhaps most well-known is Waymo, a company spun out from Google. In mid-2025, Waymo said that its researchers had found that autonomous vehicle scaling laws are similar to those of large-language models, and that increasing training data and compute resources directly lead to better AV performance.

With this in mind, turning to cloud providers with their large-scale fleets of GPUs makes logical sense. In 2023, BMW revealed it would move its autonomous vehicle data to AWS.

Aumovio was formerly part of the Continental Group before being spun out in September 2025. The company is headquartered in Frankfurt, Germany.
