The Voice Of GO(r)D podcast is very excited to bring you a deep dive discussion about the implementation of autonomous trucks on our highways, and the use of human truckers as teaching ‘Guinea Pigs' in this enterprise.Paulette Nobles is a trucker who just recently left Hirschbach Transportation and she joins the show with Mitchel Riesgraf, a driver with Long Haul Trucking and the Truckxedo TikTok channel. I met both through CDL - Drivers Unlimited, a driver advocacy organization that is … hibernating?Paulette and Mitchel share their experiences and research with us, and some of it is quite alarming, especially the use of driver facing cameras to scrape driver performance and behavior in an effort to collect data to teach the robots assumed to be our replacements. Paulette also has some insights to share regards Hirschbach, a carrier partner with Aurora Innovation in their project to make truckers extinct. We explain in the discussion why all of their rhetoric otherwise is pure and unadulterated BS and that you ought be skeptical of anything these people say.It should be noted, and I forgot to mention in the intro I recorded, that today we have reports that the Ukrainian military used drone swarms numbering in the hundreds which took out numerous on the ground aircraft of the Russian Air Force, launched from over a thousand miles away. Automated warfare to automated truckers, and it is really people who end up in the crosshairs.Lean into NeoLuddism!Links -Aurora's letter to the Congressional Transportation and Infrastructure Committee attempting to sell them on the safety of their systems -https://acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:VA6C2:44226229-4a9f-4199-b953-8a12801ddeccA cringe video made by Hirschbach in which their own employees celebrate their replacement -https://vimeo.com/1052465404Aurora's announcement of driver back in (for now)https://aurora.tech/newsroom/updating-our-driverless-operationsA market research firm pours some water on Aurora -https://www.bleeckerstreetresearch.com/research/aurora-innovation-aurhttps://www.stealingfire.tech/https://www.jamesyear.com/James has been on my show about 8 times now, but here is the first of our roundtable discussions looking into Autonomous Trucks -And finally, AI and automated tech are also in the news in the world of politics, as a part of Trump's ‘Big Beautiful Bill' has a sneaky insert which lets AI and related tech development off of numerous hooks for a decade, and Vice President Vance gave a recent interview where he spoke out of both sides of his mouth where it concerns workers affected by all of this.Read about all of that here -https://autonomoustruckers.substack.com/p/the-propaganda-pushing-autonomousFor more links, files, and videos mentioned in the introduction and throughout the show, head on over to my Substack post about this podcast - there is always much more info and often photos or videos that Spotify and others won't let me link to. https://autonomoustruckers.substack.com/p/teaching-the-robots-through-workerWhile you are there, smash that subscribe button and never miss a podcast or any of my written work, as it will show up instantly in your inbox.

Supply chain software provider E2open is being acquired by Australian tech company WiseTech Global for $2.1 billion. This transaction, the result of a strategic review pushed by an activist investor, values E2open at $3.30 per share, a 28.4% premium over its closing price last Friday. The Canadian Union of Postal Workers implemented a nationwide overtime stoppage last Friday, averting a full strike after receiving a late contract offer from Canada Post. However, the threat of a strike has already damaged Canada Post's parcel business, leading to anticipated delays and a sharp drop in volumes as customers seek alternative carriers. Aurora Innovation has decided to keep a person in the driver's seat of its autonomous trucks temporarily at the request of OEM partner Paccar, due to certain prototype parts in the base vehicle platform. This observer will not operate the vehicle but will assist with timely recovery if needed, such as pulling over for events like a tire blowout or bad weather. Don't forget about our upcoming FreightWaves events, including the Enterprise Fleet Summit on July 23rd and the Supply Chain AI Symposium on July 30th.

May 27, 2025 | Season 7 | Episode 20Take a fascinating journey through market valuation that challenges conventional wisdom about wealth measurement. In this eye-opening episode, we explore how perceiving markets solely through dollar-denominated prices creates an illusion of stability, when deeper analysis reveals a more complex reality.The real story emerges when we examine the Dow-to-gold ratio across a century of market history. From its peak of 18 during the 1929 market bubble to 41 during the dot-com frenzy to approximately 12 today, this perspective shows how relative wealth can dramatically shift despite seemingly stable nominal values. While the S&P 500 appears nearly flat year-to-date in dollar terms, a foreign investor would experience an 8.6% loss due to dollar weakness—a sobering reminder that currency matters.We analyze healthcare stocks showing promising technical indicators after five years of significant underperformance, potentially setting up a 21% rebound based on historical patterns. We also examine IBM's surprising premium valuation compared to its historical discount and Google's existential challenge as younger users increasingly "ChatGPT it" rather than "Google it."Looking toward future market leaders, we highlight companies with explosive growth potential: Aurora Innovation revolutionizing autonomous trucking, BYD dominating the Chinese EV market with breakthrough battery technology, and Tempus AI connecting with over 50% of US oncologists through its genomic sequencing business.The bond market reveals perhaps the most profound shift, as Treasury yields now incorporate default risk—evident as credit default swap spreads approach levels comparable to Greece. Combined with diminishing Japanese investor interest and the relatively small size of the high-yield market compared to Treasury issuance, these dynamics create both challenges and opportunities.Understanding relative valuation isn't just academic—it's essential for navigating today's complex investment landscape. Join us as we provide the perspective you need to see beyond nominal figures and grasp what's truly happening to your wealth.** For informational and educational purposes only, not intended as investment advice.

Aurora Innovation⁠ has officially launched its commercialized driverless trucking operations in Texas, running autonomous trucks without a human driver along the I-45 corridor between Houston and Dallas. The company partnered with Uber Freight and Hirschbach Motor companies for this program, which received praise from Texas Governor Greg Abbott for its potential to move products efficiently, create jobs, and improve road safety. Carrier ⁠Heartland Express⁠ posted another disappointing quarterly result for 2025, reporting its seventh straight net loss on Wednesday. Revenue fell 19 percent year over year, with leadership citing tariff uncertainties, adverse weather, and prolonged industry challenges like cost inflation outpacing freight demand as reasons for the poor performance. ⁠Penske Logistics⁠ is cutting over 300 warehouse jobs from a facility in Missouri after losing a contract with a grocery in the area. A WARN notice reported the permanent closure effective July 15th, with plans to transfer the service to a different warehousing provider and offer employees transfer opportunities to BGDC Distribution. And companies across various sectors are releasing ⁠new plans to adjust services, pricing, and more in response to evolving trade policies⁠.

It's the Friday news roundup! Kamala Harris made her pick for vice president and it's not our governor. We're talking about what's next for Josh Shapiro – plus what to make of JD Vance's first campaign stop in Pennsylvania – with Kim Lyons, editor of the Pennsylvania Capital-Star. We also check in on a Pittsburgh-based company that's raising millions to launch driverless trucks in Texas, and ask whether Neftlix's Unsolved Mysteries reboot could help solve a Beaver County cold case. We always cite our sources: Gov. Josh Shapiro warmed up the crowd at Kamala Harris' rally in Philly on Tuesday, before she and her running mate Tim Walz took the stage together for the first time. Some reporting suggests Harris had better chemistry with Walz than Shapiro during their meetings last weekend. JD Vance also held a rally in Philly on Tuesday – it was his first campaign stop in Pennsylvania since he became Donald Trump's running mate. Aurora Innovation raised $483 million to launch a self-driving truck route between Dallas and Houston – the company, which is headquartered in Pittsburgh, initially asked for $350 million. Netflix's Unsolved Mysteries reboot is highlighting a Beaver County cold case from 2014.

Ossa Fisher, President of Aurora joined Grayson Brulte on The Road to Autonomy podcast to discuss how Aurora is preparing for driver-out operations in Texas by the end of the year. Aurora is taking a disciplined approach that Ossa likens to the preparation of elite athletes training for the Olympics.Aurora's advanced perception system combined with their proprietary FirstLight LiDAR is assisting the company in their journey towards driver-out operations. The FirstLight LiDAR can detect obstacles up to four football fields away, significantly enhancing safety. Aurora's development strategy combines on-road testing, controlled track environment testing, and extensive simulations. They're rigorously preparing for various weather conditions and rare events to ensure maximum safety and reliability. The company's partnerships with PACCAR, Volvo and Uber Freight will enable the company to scale operations and build a meaningful business overtime. The business model could change over time as it was developed to be flexible as the company scales driver-out commercial operations.The first lane that Aurora will operate driver-out will be Dallas to Houston followed by El Paso to Fort Worth. It's has been a big journey for Aurora to get to driver-out operations and it will be a bigger journey once driver-out operations commence and expand to multiple lanes.Recorded on Tuesday, July 9, 2024Episode Chapters0:00 Preparing for Driver-Out4:46 Uber Freight Partnership7:14 Customer Exceptions for Driver-Out9:06 Driver-Out Lanes9:48 Fright Lane Patterns11:05 Scaling Aurora14:09 Safety19:29 Building Trust22:11 Driver-Out Operations & Infrastructure23:47 OEM Partnerships26:55 CDL30:57 Economics of Aurora 37:26 Aurora's Impact on the Trucking Industry 39:46 Key Takeaways--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy® is a leading source of data, insight and commentary on autonomous vehicles/trucks and the emerging autonomy economy™.

It's the Friday news roundup! Change is in store for some big summer events: Pride is moving back to the North Side, and the city isn't sponsoring the annual Juneteenth celebration at Point State Park. Plus, Pittsburgh is expanding the controversial ShotSpotter technology into a new neighborhood, and a local company is sending self-driving tractor trailers onto a Texas highway. We always cite our sources: Pittsburgh Pride organizers told KDKA-TV that they're moving back to the North Side after they were denied access to Point State Park, but the state claims they didn't submit a completed application. The news outlet QBurgh, which is part of the Pride planning group, says it has filed complaints with the state's LGBTQ Commission over “institutional barriers.” Juneteenth is still taking place at Point State Park, but the city is not sponsoring it this year, and the Black Musical Festival has been canceled. The Pittsburgh-based company Aurora Innovation will be putting self-driving tractor trailers on the road later this year – but for now, only on I-45 in Texas. Pittsburgh City Council approved a contract expansion with the company behind ShotSpotter; the technology will now be installed in Carrick.

Our guest on this week's episode is Melanie Nuce-Hilton, senior vice president, innovation and partnerships, at GS1 US. The world has long used barcodes for data tracking and transactions – we see them stamped on nearly every product we buy. However, new standards are being introduced to replace the humble bar code with more sophisticated codes that can contain much more data. We talk about the benefits and use cases for the newer 2D types of barcodes.We've been hearing about the potential for autonomous self-driving trucks for a few years now. The technology could be applied in transportation and could ease driver shortages. There have been a number of pilot programs for testing autonomous vehicles, but we also see some opposition to their adoption over concerns of safety. Today we share some of the latest news concerning these autonomous technologies. Speakers at this year's SMC3 JumpStart conference in Atlanta shared their views that the challenging conditions that have plagued freight markets for the past couple of years will continue in 2024 – but that the volatility will diminish as the year progresses. We share details on what they had to say.CSCMP's Supply Chain Xchange  also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.  It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals.  Go to your favorite podcast platform to subscribe and to listen to past and future episodes.Articles and resources mentioned in this episode:GS1 USRyder and Kodiak open autonomous truck port in HoustonTeamsters and police opposed South Dakota bill allowing autonomous vehiclesSluggish outlook prevails, freight leaders sayGet episode transcriptsVisit Supply Chain XchangeListen to CSCMP and Supply Chain Quarterly's Supply Chain in the Fast Lane podcastSend feedback about this podcast to podcast@agilebme.comPodcast is sponsored by: ApteanOther linksAbout DC VELOCITYSubscribe to DC VELOCITYSign up for our FREE newslettersAdvertise with DC VELOCITYTop 10 Supply Chain Management Podcasts

Joining Laura on this week's episode is Ossa Fisher, President of Aurora Innovation, where Ossa shares the multi-faceted pow rapport-building techniques to uncover the real problem and get people on board, resulting in enthusiastic participation. In this episode you will learn: About the development of self-driving technology, the current use of autonomous vehicles on Texas roads, addressing concerns of regulators with safety measures and reassuring the public with real-life examples of how the technology enhances road safety. Ossa shared a personal experience of receiving urgent voicemails about her daughter's health, and how her team and CEO showed immense support and flexibility during that time, teaching Ossa the importance of caring for the human beyond the job, and inspiring her to pay it forward by supporting others in their personal crises. Tips for calming nerves during public speaking, such as touching fingers, imagining someone rooting for you, and remembering that the audience wants you to succeed. How Ossa came from a place of curiosity rather than assumption in investigating why local high school students seemed uninterested in participating in Yale Model Congress, and ended up recruiting 15 high school students who got the majority of their bills passed in the program, which helped influence her how to influence and engage people going forward.   24 Hour Challenge: Next time you're in a group setting, and there's a lull in the conversation, try not to break the silence.

Chuck Price, President, AI Kinetics joined Grayson Brulte on The Road to Autonomy podcast to discuss the shutdown of Waymo Via and what it means for the development of the universal driver. The conversation begins with Chuck sharing his thoughts on the current state of the autonomous trucking industry.We are going through change. What we're seeing is the early phase of this development which was largely science doing science, now moving to doing engineering and commercialization. Some of the companies that have been involved in this thought ahead for that and are prepared and others are struggling or have struggled. What we are seeing is a consolidation and some changes in strategy that I think are normal and healthy for an industry as complex as this. – Chuck PriceThe consolidation currently occurring in the autonomous trucking industry is healthy — the market is functioning properly. On Wednesday, July 26th, Alphabet announced Waymo will be shutting down their autonomous trucking division — Waymo Via. While this may have come as a surprise to many, there were rumors in the market and public statements by Alphabet on earnings calls that laid the foundation for this announcement. Waymo did the right thing for a lot of reasons. – Chuck PriceBy shutting down Waymo Via, Waymo is now going to focus exclusively on their robotaxi business — Waymo One. As Mr. Price stated, this is indeed the right thing for Waymo to do as they are in a head-to-head competition with Cruise. Cruise is a formidable opponent with the resources to compete. Not to mention, Cruise is currently expanding at a much more rapid pace than Waymo. Cruise is in the driver's seat, while Waymo follows behind. From a technical perspective, was this an admission by Waymo that the Universal Driver did not work as they expected? Or is this more inancial discipline coming from Waymo as the division will have a new de facto CEO on September 1st — Ruth Porat, President & Chief Investment Officer of Alphabet. In her new role Ms. Porat will be responsible for investments in Alphabet's “Other Bets”. To further streamline the business and appease Wall Street, could Ms. Porat look to license the Waymo driver to global OEMs? Or raise additional capital outside by collateralizing Waymo's IP? Aurora Innovation with 1,450 patents related to autonomy recently raised $820 million in new capital. I am confident that the formal IP developed by Aurora gave them a huge advantage when they went to raise money, and without that they probably would not have been able to raise. – Chuck PriceEven though Aurora recently raised $820 million in new capital, the company has a cash burn rate of $45.3 million a month. It's expensive to operate, Aurora. With Waymo signaling that the Universal Driver did not work, Aurora continues ahead with developing their version of the Universal Driver. Would Aurora be wise to shut down their passenger car business and focus solely on autonomous trucking? This decision would allow Aurora to streamline their business and lower their cash burn rate — the economics point the way forward. But the question remains, what path will Aurora choose as the company matures and grows?I haven't seen a Universal Virtual Driver yet, but I have seen focused drivers come to fruition. We've seen cars that are now self-driving without safety drivers. We've seen trucks that are self-driving without safety drivers. Both have been achieved. The science is done for those specific use cases. – Chuck PriceTo scale an autonomous trucking startup, the startup has to have a production relationship with a truck OEM. To achieve this relationship, the autonomous trucking startup will have to commit $50 to $100 million to the relationship.Wrapping up the conversation, Chuck shares his thoughts on how he sees the autonomous trucking industry evolving over the next five years.Follow The Road To Autonomy on Apple PodcastsFollow The Road to Autonomy on Spotify Follow The Road To Autonomy on LinkedInFollow The Road To Autonomy on TwitterRecorded on Tuesday, August 1, 2023See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Self-driving technology company Aurora Innovation has plans to commercialize autonomous trucks by the end of next year. So far, the company seems to be on that path in Texas. Here in California, where the company is partly headquartered and has long incubated much of its technology, it’s a different story. The company's home state may push back on its innovations with California State Assembly Bill 316, which would prohibit any self-driving trucks weighing more than 10,000 pounds from hitting the road without a trained human operator behind the wheel. The legislation's got the support of labor unions including the Teamsters, who argue it will save jobs and keep California's roads safe. The bill could be headed to Governor Gavin Newsom's desk in the near future. Marketplace’s Lily Jamali made a visit to Aurora’s headquarters in the Bay Area and sat down with its CEO, Chris Urmson, and asked him how this bill could halt the company's advances here in the Golden State.

The bill could be headed to Governor Gavin Newsom's desk in the near future. Marketplace’s Lily Jamali made a visit to Aurora’s headquarters in the Bay Area and sat down with its CEO, Chris Urmson, and asked him how this bill could halt the company's advances here in the Golden State.

Aurora Innovation, the self-driving technology company that aims to launch an autonomous trucking business in 2024, has completed a capital raise of $820 million from a public and concurrent private offering of its stock. The company expects the deal to close Friday. 

Autonomous trucking generates a lot of headlines. It isn't a viable business yet. And a shakeout of players continues. Chris Urmson, truly part of the old guard in autonomy and the co-founder and CEO of Aurora Innovation, offers his perspective.Follow the Truck Tech PodcastOther FreightWaves Shows

It's going to be a long time before robots replace sports mascots, but it might be better for one of our GeekWire colleagues when they do. That's one of the more lighthearted takeaways from our return trip to Pittsburgh, where GeekWire co-founder John Cook somehow managed to make enemies with yet another pro sports mascot, but we also came away with some more fundamental insights into the state of robots, automation and artificial intelligence: Supply chain challenges and labor shortages are changing the national conversation about automation, and accelerating adoption of robotics especially in manufacturing and distribution. Amazon's ambitions for rapid delivery are boosting robotics and automation across the e-commerce industry by prompting competitors to follow suit with their own solutions to increase logistics efficiencies. Robotics startups and autonomous driving companies are finding success in business and enterprise markets, as evidenced by Aurora Innovation's work with Paccar and FedEx on a self-driving truck. Many consumer robotics companies are still trying to do too much in making multi-purpose robots, rather than focusing on doing one thing well, as illustrated by the initial reception to Amazon's Astro home robot.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Self-driving truck tech company Aurora Innovation yesterday announced a partnership with carrier Werner to haul freight between Fort Worth and El Paso in Texas. Aurora said the trucking lane it will test for Werner is an essential link in the nation's freight network, as it is the middle leg between Atlanta and Los Angeles. The route is more than 600 miles and takes approximately nine hours to complete, making it an attractive candidate for autonomous trucking.

Aurora Innovation, a driverless technology startup, has agreed to go public through SPAC. Aurora's equity value in the deal is $11 billion, and the combined company is worth $13 billion. In late 2023, the company expects to launch its first autonomous product, for trucks. Aurora is concentrating its initial efforts in Texas, which transports the most freight by truck than any other state.

Like it or not, self-driving vehicles are coming. Some say they’re already here. With ever-increasing speed, the technology for creating both autonomous private vehicles and public transportation is becoming a reality. But who do we become when we relinquish control to machines? How safe will these vehicles be? What will they look like? And who owns the data they generate? To mark the SXSW world premiere of his new documentary, Autonomy, Malcolm Gladwell (author and host of Revisionist History) joins Chris Urmson (CEO of Aurora Innovation) and NBC News Correspondent Jo Ling Kent for a conversation about where we’re heading and who we’ll be when we get there.
