Stephanie Dumo is the founder and CEO of atonomy, a company that develops self-driving cars. She talks about how big companies like Google have divested themselves from work on autonomous vehicles. Now smaller start up founders are trying to build real businesses out of their technology,. And they're spending ridiculous amounts of money on these demos in order to raise funding.
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.
