Ray and Jim welcome Dr. Sal Mercogliano, maritime historian and host of the popular YouTube channel What's Going on with Shipping?, to talk about how “dark fleets”--or what he calls "parallel fleets"--challenge maritime law and Indo-Pacific security by evading international shipping regulations and sanctions against malign actors.Sal talks about how Russia is the country most associated with dark fleets, because sanctions have prompted the country to create a parallel fleet using third-country “flags of convenience”. Many of these countries are magnets for bad actors because they have very lax standards and regulations for registration.The International Maritime Organization (IMO), which is supposed to oversee shipping worldwide, has struggled to enforce and regulate activities at sea, which remains a lawless space. One particularly thorny issue is illegal ship-to-ship transfers. Besides enabling sanctions evasion, these transfers also pose environmental risks as they frequently result in spills.Sal also talks about the state of the U.S. shipping industry, both of which are alarmingly small. This presents a national security vulnerability for a great power with global interests, especially as China dominates global shipping and owns over 20 percent of the world's ships. He argues for bipartisan legislation to reform America's merchant marine.Our podcast is produced by IEJ Media, sharing news that matters on statecraft & instruments of national power.Sponsored by BowerGroupAsia, a strategic advisory firm that specializes in the Indo-Pacific.

The episode opens with introductions from Josh, Marc, and guest Mike Kastner, who shares his decades-long journey with NTEA. Mike explains NTEA's core mission: representing manufacturers, distributors, and users of vocational trucks. The conversation explores critical industry topics, including:Electrification Challenges:While light-duty EV adoption has accelerated, Mike stresses the technological and infrastructural hurdles of electrifying heavier work trucks. NTEA's neutral stance on fuels focuses on availability, capability, and total lifetime cost.Regulatory Whiplash:Frequent shifts in government policies—particularly around EV mandates—create uncertainty. Fleet managers face the challenge of making long-term decisions amidst rapidly changing regulations.Supply Chain & Economic Pressures:Pandemic-induced disruptions persist, compounded by inflation, material shortages, and potential tariffs (notably the looming 50% tariff on Canadian steel and aluminum).Labor Shortages in Skilled Trades:Finding qualified welders and technicians remains difficult.

Geotab Inc., a global market leader in connected transportation solutions, has introduced two new products for the Irish fleet market at Geotab Connect 2025 in Orlando, Florida - a premier event attended by over 3,000 participants within the global fleet industry. Focused on helping companies move from reactive to proactive fleet management, both new products, Driver Risk Insights and Work Order Management, will give fleet managers the additional tools they need to improve safety records and vehicle maintenance. Understanding driver behaviour to improve safety With road traffic accidents on the rise, Irish fleet managers are under increased pressure to improve safety and mitigate risk. Driver Risk Insights is an AI-powered enhancement within the Geotab Safety Center that provides fleet managers with a new level of visibility into individual driver risk factors. By shifting the focus from vehicle-based data to driver-specific analysis, this advancement enables fleets, especially those with shared vehicles, to assess and predict collision risk at the driver level rather than the vehicle level. This more precise understanding of driver behaviour allows for targeted safety interventions, helping to reduce accidents, lower costs, and improve overall driver performance. Driver Risk Insights enables personalised, driver-focused analytics to: Assess the likelihood of a collision, providing a percentage-based collision risk probability per driver based on driving behaviours and historical trends Benchmark driver performance with similar drivers within their fleet or across different fleets using Geotab's extensive anonymised aggregate data set Deliver proactive coaching via the Geotab Drive App, giving drivers feedback and empowering them to improve safety habits to protect themselves "Fleets can't afford to rely only on reactive safety measures," said Sabina Martin, Vice President of Product Management at Geotab. "With AI-powered Driver Risk Insights, we're giving fleet managers and drivers a predictive edge - helping them prevent collisions before they happen, reduce costs, and create a culture of continuous safety improvement." Moving from reactive to proactive fleet maintenance The new Work Order Management within the Geotab Maintenance Center will help fleet managers in Ireland reduce downtime and manage maintenance costs more effectively. It allows fleet managers to streamline maintenance tasks through the centralised hub in the MyGeotab platform. By consolidating scheduling, tracking, and reporting in one place, fleets can replace manual record-keeping and disconnected systems with a more efficient digital workflow. Key benefits include: Centralised management to track all maintenance activities in one location, eliminating the need for multiple apps Improved operational efficiency, by converting maintenance requests into work orders, monitoring active work orders, and analysing costs and downtime metrics Predictive maintenance through Geotab's predictive analytics to identify vehicles at risk of failure and schedule preventative maintenance before costly issues arise "Fleet maintenance is a major cost driver, and unexpected breakdowns can significantly impact operations," added Sabina Martin. "We expect that Work Order Management will help Irish fleets move from reactive to predictive maintenance - improving efficiency, lowering costs, and keeping vehicles on the road." Ireland's SIRO crowned winner of Geotab Innovation Award in Sustainability Geotab has also revealed the winners of the 2025 Geotab Innovation Awards at Connect. The annual awards programme celebrates the commercial businesses and public sector fleets leading the way in their use of connected vehicle technology and data insights to drive better outcomes for business, people and the planet. The winners, including commercial and public sector fleets from the food and beverage, transportation and logistics industries, public transit, public works, and others, use...

This week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk discuss Lyft's autonomous vehicle manifesto, the impending consolidation of the LiDAR market, the emerging personally-owned autonomous vehicle fleet market, and Waabi's driver-out strategy.Lyft's manifesto highlights the potential for private car owners to integrate their personally-owned autonomous vehicles into the Lyft network, a concept similar to Elon Musk's vision for Tesla owners. For this to become a reality and for autonomous vehicles to scale effectively, a national regulatory framework is essential.During his Senate confirmation hearing for Deputy Secretary of Transportation this week, Steven Bradbury expressed enthusiasm for autonomous vehicles and advocated for a federal framework. Mr. Bradbury also emphasized a market-driven approach to technology adoption, rather than government-mandated solutions such as LiDAR.Currently, the LiDAR market is dominated by Hesai, but consolidation looms a majority of the publicly-traded pure-play LiDAR companies face dwindling cash reserves and limited revenues.In the autonomous trucking market, Waabi aims to go driver-out on public roads by the end of the year. But can they pull it off? And if Volvo isn't their OEM partner, who will be? Grayson and Walt debate the challenges ahead and the role of autonomous driving retrofit kits in the industry's future.Episode Chapters0:00 Lyft's Autonomous Vehicle Manifesto5:39 Personally-Owned Autonomous Vehicles11:22 Fleet Management16:11 Waymo / Lyft Relationship18:05 Credit Card and Telco Partnerships20:10 May Mobility, Mobileye / Lyft Partnership22:02 Autonomous Vehicle Policy24:41 LiDAR Market31:05 Waabi Driver-Out Plans39:52 Autonomous Driving Technology47:04 Unforced Error of The Week49:08 Next WeekRecorded on Thursday, February 20, 2025--------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™.Sign up for This Week in The Autonomy Economy newsletter: https://www.roadtoautonomy.com/autonomy-economy/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
