Join hosts Jon Bradshaw and Peter Harris in a deep dive into the evolving world of AI, autonomy, and the future of transportation with Gabe Klein, former leader of the U.S. Joint Office of Energy and Transportation, and Alexei Andreev, co-founder and managing director at AutoTech Ventures. Gabe brings a wealth of experience from public policy and urban mobility design, while Alexei offers a sharp lens on deep tech investments in autonomous vehicle technology and infrastructure.

This episode untangles the complex challenges of achieving full vehicle autonomy, exploring why true self-driving cars remain an elusive goal over a decade after initial excitement. Gabe and Alexei discuss the intricacies of safety definitions, the need for technology that surpasses human driving, and the mathematical challenges posed by unpredictable real-world driving environments.

Listeners will gain insights into the current state of autonomous vehicle deployment, including the technological debates over sensor suites like LiDAR versus vision-only systems, and the critical role of liability, insurance, and public perception in shaping adoption. The conversation also highlights promising investment opportunities beyond passenger vehicles—such as off-road agricultural autonomy, logistics automation, and critical supporting infrastructure like vehicle servicing, recharging, and fleet management.

With a thoughtful look at cultural differences in safety expectations and the interplay of technology and public policy, this episode is essential for investors, policymakers, entrepreneurs, and anyone interested in the future landscape of mobility and the challenges and opportunities it presents.
