1016 ET - Self-driving company Aurora plans to merge with special-purpose acquisition company Reinvent Technology Partners Y in a deal that would give the startup an equity value of $11B. Aurora develops technology for both the trucking and passenger markets and is the latest self-driving company seeking to tap public markets as startups compete for funding to build out their products. Aurora is expected to generate $2.5B in cash through the deal from money held by the SPAC and a private investment in public equity, or PIPE, associated with the transaction. Self-driving trucking rival TuSimple went public earlier this year while startups Plus and Embark, which also focus on trucking, have also announced SPAC deals. (jennifer.smith@wsj.com)
1016ET-自动驾驶公司Aurora计划与特殊目的收购公司Reinvent Technology Partners Y合并，这笔交易将使这家初创公司的股权价值达到110亿美元。Aurora为卡车运输和客运市场开发技术，是最新一家寻求利用公开市场的自动驾驶公司，因为初创企业正在争夺资金，以打造自己的产品。预计Aurora将通过这笔交易获得25亿美元的现金，这些资金来自SPAC持有的资金，以及与交易相关的一项私人投资于公共股本(PIPE)。自动驾驶卡车运输的竞争对手TuSimple今年早些时候上市，同样专注于卡车运输的初创公司Plus和Bookk也宣布了SPAC交易。(jennifer.smith@wsj.com)
