Here's a formal debate between Brad Templeton and Raj Rajkumar, a CMU Professor and member of their team that won the DARPA urban challenge on the core question of whether robocars can scale to mainstream levels in the next decade, both technically and from a business standpoint
We talk about the news (Cruise crash) and then I chat with Tomas Ohlson, a founder and engineer at Einride, a Swedish company that is building trucks with no room for a driver, with the goal of speeding up the electrification of trucks as well as automating them. They see a big win in electrification over certain distances and automation as a way to make it happen.
I interview Ezra Goldman, founder of Upshift, which sells a car subscription where you get 4, 8 or 12 days/month of car use, with the cars delivered to you on demand (and picked up and cleaned.) We discuss the merits of this compared to all the other ways to access a car.
Michael Sena edits "The Dispatcher" and has consulted on connected cars and other future transportation issues for Volvo and other OEMs. We discuss a variet of issues, including the death of Embark and Locamation, the rebirth of Argo.AI, GM's Ultra Cruise, Tesla (again) and BEVs (especially in the cold of Sweden,) Geely and Chinese strength, the viability of self-driving work machines instead of taxis and more.
Mario Herger is back to talk Tesla as we go through the highlights of the 3.5 hour Tesla Investor Day presentations to offer commentary on the most interesting sections. Also available on YouTube where we play some video. Recorded live with an audience.
