The Man Making Self-Driving Trucks

VOX MEDIA
About this episode

Tesla’s self-driving ambitions (and the company’s recent recall) may dominate the conversation when it comes to autonomous driving, but they’re not the only players in the space. This week, Kara’s talking to CEOs whose driverless vehicles are being roadtested. First up: Chris Urmson, co-founder and CEO of Aurora, which will launch its driverless truck service next year in Texas. They discuss safety, job displacement and the time that Kara tried to hit Urmson with his own driverless car. (Spoiler alert: It didn’t work.)

BTW, do you have any burning questions on career, love or life you’d like Kara or Nayeema’s advice on? If so, call 1-800-KARA-PLZ and leave us a voice mail.
