Today, we discuss an article about AV's impact on urban parking; another article about Silicon Valley's feud with AVs; and the question of whether self-flying cars will be here before self-driving cars, and why it doesn't really matter.

I experienced something pretty remarkable with a Tesla Model 3 on the latest software update; but was I imagining it? Mercedes parent company Daimler makes huge news by announcing it's stopping all future gasoline engine R&D; and, somebody writes something so utterly stupid I had to call them out on it.

Episode 114: It looks like the 2020s will mirror the 1920s as people welcome AVs with fear, trepidation, and anger; are AVs destined to fail? And, Outsight's 3D camera can do some pretty magical things, like distinguish as between a plastic mannequin and a real person, and see ice on the road.

Today.... Episode 113 on Friday the 13th... an unusually long episode, this, in which we talk about the impact on real estate by autonomous vehicles; we address an article by Professor Lance Eliot (UCLA; USC) on whether AVs will be reserve for only the hyper-rich; and Tesla starts a (very) limited deployment of its Hardware v.3.0.

Today: When in Rome... so how do you train AVs to blend in with the driving customs around the world? Optimus Ride rolls out in Boston and seems to be playing the right strategy. And, it looks like the AV revolution may indeed bring about a much-needed renaissance in Detroit and Pittsburgh.

#109 - Today, I suggest that if cities embrace Uber, then they will embrace AVs; I rip apart the ridiculous article suggesting that sidewalks will become cages to protect humans from AVs (and vice-versa); and, yes, lidar is (apparently) a crutch, at least according to Chris Urmson.

After three months on break, I'm baaaaaaaack! Season 4 is HERE! Today, a bit of a recap on my amazing 1 month stint in DC, followup with a deep dive into my FAVA proposal. Also, if you'd like to read the article that underpins this episode, head over to Medium.com/@MarcHoag and look for "The FAVA: Federal Autonomous Vehicle Administration."

As promised, we're closing out Season 3 in a big way: I'm joined by three PhDs from around the world, Justin Schorr (Philadelphia); Martin Adler (Netherlands); and Henning Lategahn (Germany) as we dive into an absolutely fascinating, all-encompassing discussion on nearly every angle surrounding autonomous vehicles. From the technology, to the societal impacts, and everything in between, it's the perfect way to wrap up what's been by far the greatest season yet, while offering a glimpse into an amazing 4th season ahead which will pick up some time in July or August 2019.
