ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Alex Roy, the outspoken ex-Cannonball Run record-holder turned autonomous vehicle (AV) advocate shares his thoughts on a wide range of AV-related topics.
In this fast-paced episode, we bombard Alex with questions about the current state of autonomous technology, AV business models, safety, accessibility, jobs, connectivity, parking, the tired "race to autonomy" adage, and the role of autonomous driving in the future of urban mobility.

We also talk about Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS), super-apps, elevators, and Alex's "asleep in the back" autonomous vehicle technology test.
