"Smartest driver in the world" took the entire Bishop Consulting team on a quick spin around Mt View. Expected to experience a high performing vehicle, but an edge-case surprise completely wowed us! Thanks @juliannemcgoldrick! #waymo #automonousvehicle #automateddriving #robotaxi

Just finished up three days at the National Private Truck Council Annual Meeting. I was pleased to lead a session on Autonomous Trucking. A great event: keep up the good work NPTC! #autonomoustrucks #automateddriving

📍New STEER mapped locations are popping up every week! Mapping takes as little as 5 min and adds a new point of interest to the STEER network. Mapped locations enable users to use #autonomousparking at locations convenient for them like movie theaters, grocery stores, and more.

@TomBamonte Cooperation perception will be valuable for 2nd or 3rd generation ADS. This article a bit too frothy, lots of folks have been working on this for several years.

Isuzu trucks powered by Gatik's ADS will hit the roads later this year. We may see the first significant scaling of driverless in the medium-duty segment. #walmart #loblaw #automatedtrucks #automateddriving #supplychain forbes.com/sites/richardb…

Cooperation between Infrastructure Owner-Operators and Truck ADS Developers is accelerating, thanks to this initiative between Embark and ADOT, and USDOT work at the national level. #automatedtrucks #selfdrivingvehicles #infrastructure #workzonesafety forbes.com/sites/richardb…

Really nice to see USDOT's 1990s Automated Highway System program called out in this great article from Locomation! The AHS program was what I spent that decade doing! #automatedtrucks #automateddriving freightwaves.com/news/a-history…
