GUEST: Alex Roy

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.

Alex Roy is founder of the Human Driving Association, Director of Special Operations at Argo.ai, author of The Driver: My Dangerous Pursuit of Speed and Truth in the Outlaw Racing World, and producer of Apex: The Secret Race Across America.
