EP029c: We are all becoming human data producers -- An Interview with David Knight of Terbine

How does mining data from an earthquake make us human seismographs? How does cars use Terbine technology to generate micro weather maps all over the city at a granular level? 

David explains how to take and use data from everyday objects to make sense of the world in a way that has nothing to do with the original purpose of the object.

 

David is a self-describe serial entrepreneur, angel investor, filmmaker and ardent supporter of STEM education. He founded, co-founded and held leadership roles in tech companies with exits including two IPOs, two M&A buyouts, and two post-bubble meltdowns. He is also a trustee of the California Science Center Foundation involved in building a large new Air & Space center for the Western U.S.

Terbine is building the first large-scale digital marketplace for sensor data – things like vehicle counters, sound levels, powerline loading, carbon emissions and crop density. Terbine’s highly curated data trading/exchange system makes sensor information accessible, actionable, and trustworthy for applications across a broad range of industries. The company's initial focus is on Intelligent Transportation and Smart Cities. http://terbine.com/video.html
