Marc Hoag AI Law Pod (formerly Autonomous Cars with Marc Hoag)

Today! A very special podcast episode -- and quite possibly the world's first! -- recorded inside a Tesla Model S while driving from San Francisco to Palo Alto with Autopilot engaged, complete with my personal thoughts, feedback, and critique! Also: Ford releases an interesting test about active cruise control's ability to avoid unnecessary traffic jams, and what it means for a fully autonomous car future!

Today, Episode 40! We discuss paradoxes! Specifically: With AVs making it easier for people to drive more places more frequently and more distances, what does this mean for the environment? What do AVs mean for more drive-oriented, enthusiast car brands? And, with AVs effectively killing all sorts of driving infractions including moving violations and parking tickets, what will cities do to avoid going bankrupt?

SPECIAL! If there's one episode you listen to on this podcast, make it this one. I had the privilege of attending a presentation by Professor Daniel Sperling, the Distinguished Blue Planet Professor, and Founding Director, Institute of Transportation Studies at the University of California, Davis; and Board Member, California Air Resources Board.

Professor Sperling talked about his new book highlighting the "3 revolutions" -- autonomous vehicles, electric vehicles, and carpooling -- and the notion that all three are necessary to solve the catastrophic state of transportation in the world .

This was a truly fascinating talk, and I highly -- HIGHLY -- recommend you listen and share this episode with all your friends and colleagues -- not for my sake, but for Professor Sperling's sake, and indeed, for all of humanity around the world.
