In this episode, Shay Senior sits down with Roy Shmuel, founder of Sightec, the new edge of computer vision in autonomous vehicles.

They discuss how autonomous vehicles operate when gps signals and positioning can’t be trusted, why scaling autonomy is harder than most people expect, and how hard it is for investors and decision-makers to tell the difference between promising ideas and technologies that are ready for real use.

This is a grounded conversation about reality, academia as an important pillar in the advancement of defensetech and the future of drones in warfare.

🎧 Tune in to hear:

• Why “working in the lab” doesn’t mean working in the real world
• The challenges of operating without reliable signals or infrastructure
• Why it’s important to build redundancy instead of relying on a single navigation source.
