Stephanie Coontz: I find the group of them incredibly interesting because it is literally the exact opposite, in my view, of what they are working on. They all have also gotten these emales from big, weird companies, sang pivot, ah. So i do knowh but it's decidedly sexi like rope, like robo taxis. Well, our great conversation starter at a bar a automating trash, compactinga wheel loaders a land fill doesn't get people so interested ind talking to you, yes, but the latter might make you more money faster.
With the AV sector entering another round of turmoil, we are joined by two founders who lost their startups during previous periods of turmoil but have come back to the driving automation space. Stefan Seltz-Axmacher, who previously appeared on The Autonocast following the failure of Starsky Robotics is back to discuss Polymath Robotics, his new "plug and play" off-road autonomy company. He is joined by Josh Hartung, formerly of Polysync and now the founder of Sygnal, which is Polymath's partner on the hardware side. Together they provide unique perspective on the ever-evolving driving automation space.
