Mothernal explained that Laura Major, who has successfully worked as Chief Technology Officer (CTO), was appointed by the board of directors because she was the right person to be president and CEO at a time when AI technology development was accelerated ahead of the launch of self-driving commercial services next year.
Laura Major, who served as CTO since the establishment of Mausoleum in 2020, has been the interim CEO of Mossal since September last year.
President Laura Major led the organization that developed the Ioniq 5 Robotaxi, one of the world's first self-driving vehicles certified by the U.S. Federal Automobile Safety Standards (FMVSS), as the CTO of Moral, and has built a machine learning-oriented self-driving software stack.
Prior to working at Mausoleum, Laura Major worked on autonomous driving and AI solutions related to astronauts and national security at the U.S. non-profit research and development agency "Drapper Laboratory" and drone company "Aria Insights."
He is also a co-author of "What to Expect When You're Expecting Robots: The Future of Human-Robot Collaboration," which describes the future of humans coexisting with robots.
"We want to work with Hyundai Motor Group to introduce 'Embodied AI' in transportation and bring great benefits to society as a whole," said Laura Major, president of the company. "Based on our deep expertise in building a fully autonomous driving system and agility in rapidly implementing the latest AI technology innovations, we will strongly realize a future in which safe autonomous vehicles become a practical part of daily life."
