We discuss why that strategy has paid off, how Ouster is validating its sensors, why autonomous ve...
Bonus Episode: Alex and Kelly Funkhouser of Consumer Reports Can't Stop Talking About Automated Driving and HMI
September 26, 2019 19:41 - 29 minutes - 19.9 MBAlex had such a good time talking about his favorite topics with Kelly Funkhouser of Consumer Reports that they almost immediately sat back down and started recording more. Here, for your listening pleasure, is that roughly half-hour of bonus conversation covering a wide range of topics related to human machine interaction in automated driving.
#155: Kelly Funkhauser of Consumer Reports on Tesla Autopilot, Driver Monitoring Systems, and the SAE Levels
September 26, 2019 16:21 - 39 minutes - 26.9 MBWhat is Tesla Autopilot missing? Can Driver Monitoring Systems work? What are the best and worst driver assistance systems? How can we improve the SAE automation levels? In this episode recorded live at the Pennsylvania Autonomous Vehicle Summit, Alex (and Ed, before he had to take off to promote his book) gets schooled by Kelly Funkhauser, Consumer Reports' Head of Connected & Automated Vehicles, a rare voice of reason in a sector full of "experts" spouting BS.
#154: Learning From Pennsylvania's Deep AV History
September 19, 2019 14:23 - 1 hour - 44.2 MBWhile some states scramble to get a handle on the sudden appearance of autonomous vehicles on their roads, Pennsylvania's had time to think about the challenge.

August 21, 2019 14:52 - 1 hour - 46.9 MBTo celebrate the launch of Ed's new book LUDICROUS: The Unvarnished Story of Tesla Motors, Alex and Kirsten put his mantra that "critical coverage is a sign of love and support, not hate" to the test. Leveraging their respective experience as a Tesla fan and a tough journalist, Alex and Kirsten grill Ed on the positions, principles and journalistic practices behind LUDICROUS and his Tesla coverage more generally. What follows is something of a throwback to the intense Tesla debates of the Aut...

August 14, 2019 18:03 - 1 hour - 43.6 MBThere is no more important question int he world of autonomous vehicle development than the one that has become something of a conference panel cliche: "how safe is safe enough?" The Israeli startup Foretellix isn't trying to answer that question themselves, but they are developing the tools with which companies and regulators may someday verify the safety of autonomous vehicles. Co-founder and CEO Ziv Binyamini explains why this task is so challenging, how Foretellix is developing a testing ...

Sifting through each recent deal, interpreting its meaning and connecting the dots, this search for broader meaning in a complex and interconnected sector yields provocative insights and possibilities. Looking forward, the question becomes: who will be the next automaker or AV developer t...
#147: Carl Pickering of ADAM CogTec on The Future of Driver Monitoring
June 12, 2019 18:09 - 1 hour - 43.1 MBWith fully autonomous cars taking longer to develop than some had hoped, partial automation and driver assistance is coming back into focus and with it all the thorny problems of human machine interfaces.

April 26, 2019 15:49 - 59 minutes - 41.2 MBTesla's "Autonomy Day" packed a lot of information into a few hours, but Kirsten, Alex and Ed all watched with interest and they have a few thoughts. The gang discusses Tesla's decision to develop a chip in-house, the demo video showing surprisingly little in the way of challenging domains and scenarios, the firm's vaunted "data advantage" and much more. All that, plus a brief discussion at the end about Rivian's deal with Ford. Don't miss this action-packed episode tackling the most controve...
140: Unpacking The MIT Autopilot Study
April 18, 2019 14:14 - 2 seconds - 28.2 MBA recent paper by Lex Fridman and other MIT researchers looking at the "functional vigilance" of Autopilot users has attracted considerable controversy in recent weeks. The authors claim a finding that bucks all the existing research about human interactions with automation, suggesting that Autopilot users do not suffer from the complacency and distraction that typically comeswhen humans monitor partial automation. In this episode Alex, Kirsten and Ed dig into the study and discuss what they ...

121: Oliver Cameron of Voyage
December 19, 2018 15:44 - 1 hour - 41.8 MBIt's not often that the entire Autonocast crew gets fanboyish, but when it comes to Voyage we tend to lose our cool a little. That's because Voyage has built a business that takes into account both autonomy's greatest opportunities to help people and a realistic view of its limitations. By deploying autonomous vehicles in retirement communities, Voyage keeps its system operating in a limited domain while helping people who aren't well-served by cars be more mobile. On this week's show, we are...
