Aptiv, which acquired self-driving car company NuTonomy in October for $450M, announced Tuesday it will open an office on Northern Avenue in the Seaport in Q2. The technology center will employ 300 and be similar to the company’s offices in Pittsburgh and Mountain View, California, BostInno reports. NuTonomy currently employs 40 in the Seaport and 130 globally.

Along with NuTonomy, Optimus Ride tests self-driving technology in the neighborhood.
