Autonomous vehicles are already on the roads. But what happens when they arrive? In this intro episode, Autolane co-founder & CEO Ben Seidl sits down with Head of Growth Cam Hering to share why Autolane was built, the infrastructure layer making autonomous delivery, pickup, and rideshare actually work at the curb.

This is The Last 50 Ft. A podcast about the business of autonomous commerce, the operators building it, and the last 50 feet that make or break every autonomous transaction.

Amazon built a warehouse and changed the rules. Now every grocery store, retailer, and QSR is scrambling to catch up — and the last 50 feet is where it gets complicated.

In our debut episode, Buncha founder Sam Lerdahl breaks down why fulfilling a grocery order isn't just a logistics problem — it's a produce problem, a regulation problem, and a cost problem all at once. He also shares a quietly brilliant idea hiding in the future of autonomous delivery: what if the brands whose products end up in your basket helped pay for the delivery itself?

Sam's been building at the intersection of retail, robotics, and real-world ops long enough to know where the hype ends and the hard work begins. This is that conversation.

No vaporware. No lab demos. Just the people making it real.

The Last 50 Ft is brought to you by Autolane — coordinating autonomous vehicles and robotics on private property, one zone at a time.
