The Autonocast

The podcast from Kirsten Korosec, Alex Roy, and Ed Niedermeyer is an absolute gold mine of information about the emerging Self-Driving Vehicle technology and the “new mobility” solutions.

It started in September 2016 with Damon Lavrinc, who left since, replaced by Kirsten. Guests are constantly invited on the show to talk about their ideas such as lately Ro Gupta from Carmera, Ed Olson from May Mobility and Xiaodi Hou and Chuck Price of TuSimple.

They provide a very critical analysis of this new industry which I appreciate a lot.

Even though the focus is Self-Driving Cars, they give us some insight on a broader level to understand every aspect of this upcoming revolution:

• Episode #73 gives a great perspective on the North American market history and why Ford discontinues the compact and the sedans to focus on the SUVs.
• In the Episode #74 Andy Cohen of Gensler is invited to understand how one of the biggest architect firms in the world is shaping there designs in accordance with an autonomous future.
• Nobody can’t talk about Self-Driving Cars without talking about regulation. Episode #58 invites Bryant Walker Smith, member of US Department of Transportation’s Advisory Committee on Automation in Transportation, to provides us with insights from the law side of things.
