The future of mobility isn’t just electric—it’s connected. And as autonomous and software-defined vehicles take over the roads, seamless connectivity will be as essential as the engines themselves. But how do you ensure perfect, uninterrupted internet for cars, trucks, and trains moving across vastly different terrains? Enter Stellar, the startup building a bridge between terrestrial and satellite networks to keep vehicles online—everywhere.
In this episode, we sit down with Damien Garot, CEO and co-founder of Stellar, who brings decades of experience from OneWeb, Eutelsat, and Thales Alenia Space (previously Alcatel). Damien breaks down why the car industry is now in an arms race for connectivity, how SpaceX's Starlink advantage is shaking up legacy automakers, and why space-based networks will be a game-changer for autonomous driving, fleet management, and beyond.
We also explore:
🚀 The real reason big telcos and automakers haven’t cracked vehicle connectivity yet
🌍 Why Europe’s automotive giants are at risk of falling behind—and how space tech can help
📡 How Stellar’s software stitches together 5G, Wi-Fi, and satellite into a seamless network
💡 The rise of software-defined cars and why connectivity is becoming a competitive edge
Damien doesn’t just talk theory—he’s building the infrastructure that will reshape the automotive industry from the ground up.
