What if you could uncover hidden risks, assess facility conditions more accurately, and make smarter maintenance decisions—without disrupting operations?In an industry where safety, reliability, and uptime are critical, understanding the true condition of your facility can be challenging. Many grain facilities contain hard-to-access areas, aging infrastructure, and hidden structural conditions that are difficult to evaluate through traditional inspection methods alone. Yet waiting until problems become visible can lead to increased repair costs, unplanned downtime, and greater operational risk.In this episode of the Whole Grain Podcast, host Jim Lenz, Director of Global Education and Training for the Grain Elevator and Processing Society (GEAPS), sits down with Hayes Guillot, Inspection and Technology Specialist with Custom Concrete Specialists, to explore how modern inspection technologies are transforming the way grain facilities evaluate, maintain, and protect their assets.Drawing on his background in precision agriculture, drone technology, and facility inspections, Hayes explains how today's tools are providing facility owners and operators with unprecedented visibility into the condition of their structures. From interior and exterior drone inspections to ground penetrating radar (GPR), thermal imaging, and LiDAR technology, these solutions allow organizations to safely inspect areas that were once difficult, time-consuming, or costly to assess.Throughout the conversation, Hayes shares how technology is helping facilities identify potential issues earlier, reduce the need for confined-space entry, improve documentation, support data-driven decision-making, and establish a proactive approach to maintenance and capital planning. He also discusses how detailed reports, high-resolution imagery, video documentation, and advanced scanning technologies are helping maintenance teams, managers, engineers, and boards make more informed decisions with greater confidence.Whether you're responsible for operations, maintenance, engineering, safety, asset management, or strategic planning, this episode offers practical insights into how modern inspection technology is helping organizations move beyond reactive repairs and toward a safer, smarter, and more proactive future.Important LinksCustom Concrete Specialists https://www.ccsgrouponline.com/Previous Whole Grain Podcast Episode Featuring Cheyenne Wohlford, CEO & President of Custom Concrete Specialists Innovations in Grain Silo Maintenance: Drone Inspection Services https://www.geaps.com/news-publications/whole-grain-podcast/innovations-in-grain-silo-maintenance-drone-inspection-services-2/GEAPS Website https://www.geaps.com/GEAPS Credentialing Program https://www.geaps.com/training-education/credentials/Whole Grain Podcast https://www.geaps.com/wholegrainGrain Elevator and Processing Society champions, connects and serves the global grain industry and its members.

Europe doesn't have a water problem. The rain still falls; we've just spent a few hundred years engineering it off the land as fast as we can, which James Barrett likens to hauling your garden clippings to the dump only to drive back in spring and buy compost.James is a regenerative hydrology consultant, founder of Decent Water Company and lead regenerative designer for Ten Lives Festival in Portugal — where 150 people spent their mornings digging rock-lined "smiles" into a semi-arid, 70-hectare site that sees barely 400mm of rain a year. Sitting between two almond trees, he explains why he favours many small, low-risk interventions over one big dam, how those rock linings passively harvest daily fog and condensation much like the fog nets of Chile, and why transpiring trees hand a landscape a longer growing season and a few degrees of cooling. He also shows how LiDAR and AI let him read 70 hectares from a laptop, finding where water wants to pool before he lifts a shovel.This is a practical field lesson in keeping water higher in the landscape — and in why where you choose to dig decides whether soil, ecosystems and the economics all start to regenerate together.More about this episode.Thoughts?

Today's guest is Robert Cheatham https://www.linkedin.com/in/rcheetham/ and we are talking about Japan Earth Observer, https://www.japanearthobserver.com/. This is a newsletter on the space, Earth observation, and geospatial industry in Japan. It is based on a fantastic effort by Robert to systematically collate every last company in the space and earth observation supply chain in that country. Naturally I was drawn to it due to my efforts to do this not only for Japan but every country in the world as the GEO500. We got in touch and exchanged our lists which led to the discussion recorded here today.The GEO500 has 56 Japanese companies since inception. 7 of them are delisted. So the index contains 49 live positions for this country. All GEO500 positions start with $100. The entire Japanese part of the GEO500 stands at $AUD13,000. This is because the 56 have compounded at 8% annually since inception. In the case of this country, starting as a position in Fujitsu in 2000. The top three performers in terms of capital growth rate are Terra Drone (125% annually), Synspective (71%) and QPS (59%). The top 3 in terms of value are Sony ($1100 - bear in mind the $100 starting position, equating to a 20% annual growth rate since entering the index in 2013), NEC ($960, 10%) and Raito Kogyo ($760, 11%). Note that the 3 fastest growers are all earth observation companies, and 2 of those are synthetic aperture radar satellite constellations. This is an exciting part of our industry to watch and I have recorded a couple of great episodes on the power of it. For example, - Jamon Van Den Hoek's work as an academic partnering with some of the world's largest media organisations to monitor building destruction in warzones and after fires: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0RQNjzDtTQTNqv8IiMy2SU- Umbra, a pioneering American SAR satellite manufacturer, they also operate their own constellation: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2QM3OeglXI1naiSgrKod17- Iceye, the equivalent from Finland: https://open.spotify.com/episode/04S3fsdL4cus2tOEbq4KBN- Ursa Space Systems, a commodity intelligence firm that uses SAR to monitor everything from iron ore stockpiles at ports to oil farm tank lids around the world: https://open.spotify.com/episode/3ltO0Bv8Mtq7dgnLhXWGxO- SeerAI, another analytical platform where I coaxed the guest to use SAR as a way to detect surface change on the NEOM excavation, the world's largest (now abandoned) building site: https://www.geospatial.fm/p/seerai-responds-to-johnny-harrisBut this wasn't just about current companies. We were privileged in this episode to be given a history of Japan's trading houses since the 1860s to today. This led to several insights around the longevity, for example, of the social groups that comprise such firms and how they can persist even through a trust busting effort by the winning country after a world war. Another insight was the benefit to society of trust busting and how it unleashed a wave of new companies and from that household names such as Honda and Sony. Honda recently launched a rocket that was able to land itself. This has relevance to possible future earth observation constellation launches. Sony released LiDAR solution in 2013 and also sells other geospatial products like a GNSS chip. We have come full circle.A final note about Robert himself. We are presented here with a cultivated and successful entrepreneur. He grew a geospatial software development firm to 50 people then sold it. He has learnt a foreign language well enough to spontaneously translate things for me during a podcast recording without warning. He also is able to offer a comprehensive historical view on the emergence, development, setbacks and modern day expression of several dominant companies in a vibrant foreign economy, Japan. He shows us the way, then, on multiple fronts. I am grateful for the chance to put an inspiring industry figure in front of you today. Thanks Robert.

On today's episode, we discuss how fast emerging tech is reshaping everyday life, from glitchy home solar systems to self‑driving cars, sex robots, and AI‑driven coding tools. Glenn opens with a candid update on his Tesla‑based solar setup—celebrating a newly functional generator‑battery handoff while venting about failed inverters and long calls with Tesla support—before the group pivots into how well the latest Full Self‑Driving software now handles stop signs, parking, and even spotting deer at night using cameras and possibly infrared. From there, they debate LiDAR versus camera‑only systems, the future of EVs and hybrids, and how self‑driving will eventually trickle down into everything from lawnmowers to Roombas as autonomy gets baked into cheap firmware chips rather than constantly updated software. The conversation then gets speculative and playful: humanoid robots doing warehouse work and construction, direct brain interfaces by 2035, AI‑mediated sex and “Tesla Ranch” brothels, and a looming choice between a Wall‑E future of passive comfort or a Star Trek future of exploration and fitness. In the final stretch, they return to Elon Musk's growing power—Starlink as a de facto “second internet,” Grok Build and vibe‑coding tools that let non‑programmers wire systems together—and close with a non‑advice discussion of Bitcoin and crypto, arguing that upcoming U.S. regulation and broader access through mainstream financial firms could unleash a major new wave of demand.

Michael Brandt, Co-Founder and CEO, RC Mowers joined Grayson Brulte on The Road to Autonomy podcast to discuss autonomous mowers and how they unlock scale for an industry that is labor constrained.In the landscape industry, turnover is structural, the work is hard, and skilled employees tend to stay away, making this an ideal industry to deploy autonomy that unlocks scale and frees up human resources to focus on the work robots cannot do yet.The perception stack on the autonomous mowers is LiDAR-first, enabling the mowers to operate day and night with equal capability. Airport operators were the first to recognize what that unlocks, deploying autonomous mowers at night when runways close, expanding the operational window on land that never stops needing maintenance.As private equity continues to roll up the landscape industry, the use of autonomous mowers is growing as they solve the labor problem and unlock growth that the old model cannot deliver.The future of autonomy in landscaping will not be won by the operators waiting for the price to come down. It will be won by the operators who are already three years ahead, deploying autonomous mowers today and building the next generation of the landscape industry.Episode Chapters00:00 AUTNMY AI00:36 Founding of RC Mowers05:56 Landscape Labor Crisis09:21 Autonomous Mower Stack11:54 Deploying Autonomous Mowers20:46 Autonomous Mowing at Airports25:47 Autonomous Mowing32:11 Private Equity Landscape Industry Roll Up38:12 Autonomy-First Landscape Company46:48 American Manufacturing in Green Bay50:54 The Future of RC Mowers--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy is the leading applied intelligence platform covering the convergence of automation, autonomy, and the Autonomy Economy.™.Through our podcasts, newsletter, and proprietary applied intelligence, we set the narrative for institutional investors, industry executives, and policymakers navigating the convergence of automation, autonomy, and economic growth.Join institutional investors and industry leaders who read This Week in The Autonomy Economy every Sunday.

In this episode, we speak to Adam McKinnon, CEO of Advance Metals, a company rapidly building one of the more exciting silver growth stories in Mexico Advance has assembled a portfolio exceeding 100 million ounces of silver equivalent across the prolific Sierra Madre Belt, positioning itself at the centre of a growing global conversation around silver supply, electrification, and precious metals demand. We discuss the strategy behind consolidating a district-scale silver platform in Mexico, the significance of the recent Yoquivo JORC Resource, and why the company believes there is substantial upside still to come from its exploration pipeline. We explore Adam's views on leadership in mining, balancing geology with capital markets, the importance of local expertise, and where he sees the biggest opportunities emerging in precious metals exploration over the next decade. This episode is brought to you by Mining International, a global executive search partner to the mining industry. For bespoke search and advisory services, please visit www.mining-international.org KEY TAKEAWAYS Advanced Metals has efficiently built a portfolio exceeding 100 million ounces of silver equivalent along Mexico's prolific Sierra Madre belt for less than $5 million USD. Recent JORC resource validation at the Yakivo project has revealed significant, high-grade unsampled core that redefines the site's potential from a narrow-vein system to a bulk-tonnage project. Establishing an almost entirely Mexican local team and advisory network is critical to navigating community relations, legal systems, and environmental compliance effectively. Significant opportunities still exist in mature mining districts by applying modern technologies like high-resolution LiDAR surveys to re-evaluate previously drilled areas. BEST MOMENTS "We have pulled together this plus-100-million-ounce silver equivalent portfolio now for a total cost, current cost, of less than $5 million US dollars." "When you look at these projects systematically and scientifically, you often get a lot further than when you take an ad hoc approach." "You want Mexican nationals to be interacting with Mexican nationals in these places... that in-country experience is absolutely invaluable." "There is a lot of value to be unlocked by looking differently at some of the exploration that has already been done... there are a lot of discoveries actually hiding in plain sight."

Explore how James McBride (@cnasalvador) is building El Salvador's sovereign aviation infrastructure. From ferrying a helicopter 3,000 miles to launching the first Bitcoin-friendly air taxi, learn how Cielo Norte Aviacion is decentralizing the skies and skipping fiat traffic jams.National sovereignty depends on more than just a digital currency because citizens remain limited by crumbling fiat infrastructure and exhausting traffic jams. In this episode, James McBride argues that freedom requires the physical infrastructure to move as fast as Bitcoin. By launching Cielo Norte Aviacion, James is betting that the future of the Salvadoran Citadel depends on decentralizing the skies to allow for a level of mobility that was previously impossible in Central America.The journey to establish this vision involved a literal trial by fire that started with a grueling international flight from Northern Ontario. James recounts the logistics of ferrying a helicopter 3,000 miles across borders while navigating the shifting regulations of multiple countries and searching for jet fuel in remote regions. This story of grit and proof of work highlights the massive physical effort required to build a new business in the Bitcoin nation and describes the immense relief he felt when the aircraft finally touched down on Salvadoran soil.As James reaches the finish line of his AAC certification, he is preparing to launch a high speed air taxi service that changes the last mile logistics of El Salvador. His fleet offers private charters that reach world class surf breaks like Punta Mango in under thirty minutes so that travelers can bypass the nightmare traffic of San Salvador. This initiative creates a functional network that connects the most remote and beautiful locations in the country to the economic heart of the city.The business expansion includes a clear roadmap for industrial and government support alongside tourism. By utilizing aerial surveying and Lidar technology, Cielo Norte facilitates mining operations and infrastructure planning with a level of precision and speed that drones cannot match. This technical edge and the future addition of fixed-wing aircraft for cargo position the company to become the backbone of Salvadoran industry and a critical pillar of the economic rebirth of the country.James also shares a behind the scenes look at his private meeting with President Bukele where he pitched the vision of making El Salvador the aviation hub of Latin America. This comprehensive family approach spanning from Bitcoin exchanges to the skies reflects a unique moment in history where entrepreneurs are actively building the world they want to live in. Whether you are a pilot interested in technical flight rules or a Bitcoiner looking for the next frontier of growth, this episode demonstrates that the sky is no longer the limit in El Salvador.—Bitcoin Beach TeamConnect and Learn more about James McBrideX (Company): https://x.com/cnasalvadorWeb: https://www.cielonorteaviacion.com/IG: https://www.instagram.com/cielonorteaviacion/WhatsApp (Business Line): +503 7745 8200 Support and follow Bitcoin Beach:X: https://www.twitter.com/BitcoinBeachIG: https://www.instagram.com/bitcoinbeach_sv TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@livefrombitcoinbeach Web: https://www.bitcoinbeach.com Browse through this quick guide to learn more about the episode:00:00 Intro01:13 Why the McBride family moved their business to El Salvador02:48 Scaling a Canadian mining airline into a Salvadoran charter04:12 Flying a helicopter 3,000 miles from Canada to El Salvador06:15 How air taxis solve the San Salvador traffic nightmare11:51 Navigating 10,000-foot mountain ranges under VFR rules13:38 Why El Salvador's geography is perfect for helicopters16:02 Using Lidar aerial surveying for mining andLive From Bitcoin Beach

This week on Autonomy Signals presented by KPMG, Grayson Brulte and Rob Grant discuss Uber's policy play to slow the deployment of robotaxis, BYD's costly market share gain, and Unitree going sci-fi with a production-ready Mecha robot.Uber recently released a policy paper titled Unlocking the Promise of Autonomy that emphasized that the transition to autonomy should move slowly through a phased hybrid model where mixed fleets of human drivers and autonomous vehicles share the platform for years.The report appears to be a regulatory framework designed to penalize the autonomy-only business model currently being deployed by both Waymo and Tesla, positioning Uber's hybrid approach as the only socially responsible path. In what appears to be a deliberate effort to slow down robotaxi deployments until Uber and their partners catch up.Over in China, BYD updated their Seagull EV with an optional God's Eye system, a roof-mounted LiDAR with Level 2+ capabilities running on NVIDIA Drive Orin for a starting retail price of $13,000. This is the first subcompact vehicle in the world equipped with premium autonomous hardware at this price point, putting pressure on Western automakers to compete. But the price point comes at a cost, as BYD's Q1 2026 net profit dropped 55% and operating cash flow collapsed 67%.Then there is Unitree, which launched the GD01 Man Transformable Mecha, a 1,100-pound, nine-foot pilotable robot that switches between bipedal and quadruped modes. Priced at approximately $650,000, the GD01 is a calculated engineering showcase flex ahead of Unitree's anticipated Shanghai Star Market IPO targeting a $7 billion valuation.The launch of the GD01 Man Transformable Mecha signals China's ability to rapidly prototype, commercialize, and scale embodied AI hardware at a pace Western competitors are struggling to match.Episode Chapters00:00 AUTNMY AI01:33 Signal 1: Uber's Policy Play to Slowdown Robotaxis36:57 Signal 2: BYD's Costly Market Share Grab55:41 Signal 3: Unitree's GD01 Man Transformable Mecha--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy is the leading applied intelligence platform covering the convergence of automation, autonomy, and the Autonomy Economy.™.Through our podcasts, newsletter, and proprietary market intelligence, we set the narrative for institutional investors, industry executives, and policymakers navigating the convergence of automation, autonomy, and economic growth.Join institutional investors and industry leaders who read This Week in The Autonomy Economy every Sunday.

Angus Pacala, Co-Founder and CEO, Ouster joined Grayson Brulte to discuss the launch of the native color REV8 LiDAR and how Ouster is positioning itself as the foundational sensing and perception layer for the physical AI economy.The LiDAR industry is currently undergoing a continual thinning out as the market shakes out and separates companies with strong marketing from those with high-quality, safety-critical products. Ouster has distinguished themselves by developing their own in-house custom silicon that delivers performance improvements historically seen in the broader semiconductor industry.The introduction of native color, developed through partnerships with Fujifilm and DxOMark, provides roboticists with synchronized color and depth, allowing for better perception in fields such as agriculture and urban navigation, where sensing the state of a stoplight or the color of a plant is essential for autonomous decision-making.With Ouster's recent acquisition of StereoLabs, the company has further expanded its reach into the humanoid and short-range robotics markets, offering a unified sensing platform that covers everything from long-range LiDAR to high-detail stereo vision.As Physical AI continues to accelerate, Ouster aims to be the sensing company for the autonomy economy.Episode Chapters0:00 AUTNMY AI0:36 Changing LiDAR Industry03:56 Introducing REV813:42 Building Trust with Safety-Critical LiDAR17:53 Why Custom Silicon is Ouster's Moat25:33 Color Science Behind REV833:28 Can Color LiDAR Replace Cameras?36:36 StereoLabs Acquisition40:07 Ouster as a Sensing Company49:46 Defense Applications52:14 Future of Ouster--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy is the leading applied intelligence platform covering the convergence of automation, autonomy, and the Autonomy Economy.™.Through our podcasts, newsletter, and proprietary applied intelligence, we set the narrative for institutional investors, industry executives, and policymakers navigating the convergence of automation, autonomy, and economic growth.Join institutional investors and industry leaders who read This Week in The Autonomy Economy every Sunday.

Host Janet Michael sits down with Captain Warren Gosnell ("Goz") from the Frederick County Sheriff's Office for another edition of Public Safety Thursday. The two kick off with some relatable chaos — a mic that wasn't turned on, a misplaced phone, spring allergies, and a hilarious on-the-way-in story involving blue lights and a very startled driver. Then they get into the real meat: why Frederick County is leaning into automated traffic enforcement, how LIDAR works, and why treating people with kindness — whether you're the officer or the driver — goes a long way. Spring Chaos & Getting Here Janet's mic was off at the top of the show (she was almost perfect) Goz's busy week: Apple Blossom Festival, a teaching trip to Roanoke, and a bout of bronchitis Spring means more people, more events, more traffic — and longer days on the cul-de-sac On the Way In Stories Goz grabbed KFC nuggets, then flashed his blue lights back at a driver who tried to warn him of a cop ahead Janet watched a car blow a red light right in front of her on Route 522 Is It Illegal to Flash Your High Beams? Letter of the law vs. spirit of the law Flashing lights on ordinary vehicles technically aren't permitted as signals The real goal: slow people down and keep roads safe Law enforcement doesn't mind if you warn others — if it prevents crashes, it's a win Automated Traffic Enforcement in Frederick County School zone speed cameras already in place Red light cameras under consideration at high-crash intersections Possible construction zone cameras on the horizon Why the shift? The county has grown to nearly 130,000 people across 416 square miles — not enough deputies for both calls for service AND proactive traffic enforcement How LIDAR Works Radar beams spread wide (thousands of feet); LIDAR beams stay under 6 inches at 1,000 feet LIDAR operates at the speed of light — vehicle-specific, no room for error Camera only activates if speed exceeds 10 mph over the limit No human bias, no "why didn't you stop that other car?" arguments Kindness on Both Sides of the Window Goz is large and loud — doesn't mean he's mean; body cam footage has cleared him more than once He now tells every driver: "I'm not yelling at you, I'm trying to be heard over traffic" Story of the Ohio driver who ran a red light and accused Goz of "ruining his perfect driving record" Goz's own history: multiple speeding tickets after moving back from Houston, where 75 mph was survival speed The Bottom Line Automated systems aren't replacing officers — they're filling gaps human hands can't cover Deterrence is the goal; if you follow the rules, cameras don't affect you "Safety over convenience."

Why History Keeps Happening: Patrick Wyman on Human Failure and Success in Building Civilizations,

Keen On Democracy

“Every single person that we meet was both the endpoint of thousands of years that brought them there, and the midpoint of some other process, and was the beginning of something else entirely. Think of yourselves as the middle and the beginning, not just the end.” — Patrick Wyman History, we are often told, is a simple story of progress — from caves and villages to cities; from forests and farms to factories; from chieftains and kings to democracies. But, for Patrick Wyman, host of the enormously popular Tides of History and Fall of Rome podcasts, that's far too linear a narrative. In his new book, Lost Worlds: How Humans Tried, Failed, Succeeded, and Built Our World, Wyman argues that rather than a teleological inevitability, civilization is a chaotic ten thousand year story of improvisation, experiment, failure, and unintended consequence. It is never ending. We are always in the middle of it. Dramatic advances in archaeological technology triggered Wyman's argument in Lost Worlds. Ancient DNA, isotope analysis, LiDAR, cutting-edge excavation are all opening up what Wyman calls “a golden age for popular historians.” We can now trace the lives of individuals in ways that were inconceivable just a generation ago. Wyman's star is Ötzi the Iceman — a man murdered 5,300 years ago in the Alps, whose gut contents, DNA, last meal, and likely killers we now know. Rather than a symbol of prehistoric life, Ötzi the Iceman reveals why history keeps happening. Five Takeaways •       The Prelapsarian Fallacy: Hunter-Gatherers Weren't Paradise: The romantic idea — popular in the last decade as people read Graeber and Wengrow or Yuval Noah Harari — is that hunter-gatherers had it better. Farming made us smaller, sicker, more crowded, more unequal. Wyman's counter: yes, on some metrics early farmers were less healthy than foragers. But farming also supported enormously larger populations. It expanded the possibilities of human life in ways that foraging never could. Looking back at the past and calling it paradise says more about the critique of the present than about the actual realities of past lives. •       Civilization Was Not Inevitable: We have a story about how we got from foragers to cities: people settled, started farming, produced surplus, developed specialisation, built states. But Wyman's new archaeology shows that this story is wrong at every step. Farming didn't always replace foraging. Villages didn't automatically spark agriculture. Cities didn't necessitate rigid hierarchies. For every society that moved from one stage to the next, there are others that moved in different directions, collapsed, hybridised, or simply chose something else. The line of progress is a retrospective fiction. •       Ötzi the Iceman: A Man With a Story: Wyman's most vivid example of what the new archaeology makes possible: Ötzi, a man murdered 5,300 years ago in the Alps, whose mummified body was found in 1991. From isotope analysis of his teeth, we know where he grew up. From his gut contents, we know what he ate in his last meal — venison and ibex. From his DNA, we know his ancestry. From the arrow in his back, we know how he died. We don't know his name, but we know enough to recognise him as fully human. That is what the new tools give us: not symbols of a lost world, but individual people with individual stories. •       The Fall of Rome Was Not a Tragedy: Wyman spent fifteen years of his life thinking about the fall of the Roman Empire and hosting a podcast about it. Writing this book changed how he sees it. He used to view it as a tragedy — something lost. Now he views it as a natural part of the rhythms that pulse through human societies over long periods of time. The remarkable thing about Rome is not that it fell. All empires fall. All societies eventually reach the limits of their technologies, their environments, their ways of organising life. The remarkable thing is that it lasted as long as it did. Six hundred years. That's the story. •       Think of Yourself as the Middle, Not the End: Wyman's message for the AI apocalypticists — and for everyone else who believes they're living at the final chapter of human history. Every person at every point in the past believed the same thing. The Neolithic farmers Wyman studies. The Bronze Age city-dwellers. The Romans. Every one of them was both an endpoint and a beginning. The AI revolution may transform the world. But it will not end it. Stop thinking in terms of next quarter. Start thinking of yourself as part of something much, much bigger — that will extend long after your name has been forgotten. About the Guest Patrick Wyman is the host of the Tides of History, Fall of Rome, and Past Lives podcasts, and the author of Lost Worlds: How Humans Tried, Failed, Succeeded, and Built Our World (Harper, May 5, 2026) and The Verge: Renaissance, Reformation, and Forty Years That Shook the World.

Waymo is now delivering hundreds of thousands of fully autonomous rides each week — but getting there required more than better models. It meant building a complete system for training, evaluating, and deploying a driver in the real world. In this episode — originally aired on the Cheeky Pint podcast — Waymo Co-CEO Dmitri Dolgov joins John Collison to break down how self-driving actually works today: from sensor fusion across LiDAR, radar, and cameras, to simulation, “critic” models, and the role of AI in decision-making. They also explore why full autonomy is fundamentally different from driver-assist, what it takes to scale globally, and how recent advances in AI are reshaping the path forward.   Resources: Follow Dmitri Dolgov on X - https://x.com/dmitri_dolgov Follow John Collison on X - https://x.com/collision Stay Updated:Find a16z on YouTube: YouTubeFind a16z on XFind a16z on LinkedInListen to the a16z Show on SpotifyListen to the a16z Show on Apple PodcastsFollow our host: https://twitter.com/eriktorenberg Please note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.
