Tech Talks

Oxbotica is a spin-out from Oxford University’s acclaimed Mobile Robotics Group, and the business specialises in mobile autonomy. At the time of recording Graeme was CEO, however he is now the SVP of External Affairs; a critical role given the stage and state of development in this sector. We chat about where the tech is at, and what changes need to happen in infrastructure and regulation to make autonomous vehicles common-place.

The podcast marks a year of GDPR with an episode exploring data, privacy and how organisations are dealing with new regulation. Richard is the Managing Director of 55, a french consultancy business helping firms audit their data, and ensure their marketing strategies are compliant. So, how has GDPR been interpreted, and how are companies responding?
