About this episode

From the backseat of a Waymo self-driving cab in San Francisco, we’ll make you an expert on the entire self-driving car industry. As our robot drives us around the City with mics in-hand, we cover the past, present, and future of robotaxis — and the technology, the business model, and the shockingly vast impact. From the controversies caused by Uber, Cruise, and Tesla to the huge gains to humankind that self-driving technology can bring, it’s all in this bonus episode.


So sit back, relax, and take your hands off the wheel — This is the world’s first self-driving podcast… For the first time in history, a podcast has been recorded in a self-driving robotaxi.Ā 


Want video? We filmed the entire episode, plus added extra bonus vlogging content from our self-driving pod ride on our YouTube and Instagram.Ā
