The cars get the headlines but the infrastructure and the cities that facilitate building that infrastructure will ultimately determine whether the autonomous vehicle revolution becomes a reality or fades away into the atmosphere like a burned-out comet. Mobility options such as electric scooters, dockless bikes and driverless vehicles are realities that city planners need to confront whether they are ready or not. The key that unlocks solutions to many infrastructure challenges is data. It is the newest four-letter word to enter the mainstream lexicon and its collection, analysis, and delivery both promises a more efficient, cleaner and safer transportation environment while also posing some threats to privacy and security.

On this episode, we are excited to have Noam Maital, CEO of Waycare, an AI-driven mobility solution that partners with cities and other public entities to get them ready for the onslaught of autonomous vehicles that will become ubiquitous on our city streets anywhere from the next 5 to 20 years.

Welcome to another episode of Raising Your Antenna, your source for in-depth insight from leaders in emerging technology. We are excited to have Alex Shirazi, organizer of Cultured Meat Symposium, a conference held in Silicon Valley highlighting top industry insights of the cell-based meat revolution.

One of the hallmarks of the last 100 years is that we not only eat to live but we live to eat. Americans, perhaps more than anyone else in the world, love beef. Unfortunately, beef has some major drawbacks. The meat that we ingest is riddled with hormones and preservatives, potentially creating some health risks. We produce more antibiotics for animals than we do for human beings and that increases the risks associated with antibiotics resistance. There's a massive environmental cost to raising cattle, and then there's the problem of cruelty to animals.

In this episode, we will explore the cell-based meat movement, or what until very recently was referred to as the clean meat industry - a new and fast-growing industry that promises to satiate our nation’s appetite for beef, but to do so growing it outside the animal.

Joining me on today's tour de force of cellular meat is Alex Shirazi, who runs the Cultured Meat Symposium, one of the preeminent industry conferences for cell-based meat.
