In this episode, William Levassor from beti, a French public transport operator (PTO) specialized in low-density areas, shares insights about their mission to combat mobility white zones through innovative mobility solutions. William talks to us about the pivotal role operators play in bridging the gap between AV technology providers and their clients – the territories – making sure to provide inclusive solutions. We dive into the challenges and opportunities in operating autonomous shuttles with the need for hypervision that covers the numerous roles of the operators from service and passengers’ management, field events management and support for driving. We clarify the terminology and expectations towards telesupervision and even, remote driving. William talks about Beti's vision for the future of mobility operations, the role of AI in enhancing safety, and the unique challenges faced by operators in the dynamic landscape of transportation.
"Deploying an AV service in a city is not only about driving the vehicles for point A to B; our focus as PTOs extends beyond. It's about orchestrating seamless daily operations with high quality of service and security for all."
Don't miss this in-depth exploration of the transformative journey towards a more connected and efficient mobility ecosystem.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
