CBIA BizCast host Ali Warshavsky speaks with Bob Hersh, Grant Thornton's national managing principal of the manufacturing industry and practice leader for the Metro New York and New England areas. Grant Thornton is hosting an Aug. 26 conference on how the industry is adapting to working through and beyond the pandemic. Hersh says COVID-19 disruptions hit manufacturers extremely hard, with most unable to shut down as they were making essential products. He noted that the pandemic created significant supply chain issues, although advances in e-manufacturing could resolve those. “I have a couple clients that are dealing with 3D printing in the industrial space, CNC, a lot of things where the design is driven electronically,” he said. Hersh added that digital technologies provide companies with a blueprint to generate inventory and relieve supply chain bottlenecks.

Would You Go On a Spaceflight? Could Your Body Take It? While watching Richard Branson and Crew and then Jeff Bezos and crew take their historic flights this Summer in real time all I could think about was... no way I'm going. I don't do underground tunnels or above ground cooped up. So I can't even imagine outer space cooped up! Also I don't like feeling heavy. Did you know the people on board these sort of missions feel 3.5 times their normal weight on their way to an altitude of more than 50 miles? I panic when I feel 10 pounds heavier so I'm out. Also what about getting nauseous on a space flight? Can't even say the word or think about it. Who does think about these things is my pal Glenn Butler, who will tell you what happens to your body on a spaceflight because he's spent a lifetime on this subject. His book 'Bending Atmospheres' is getting rave reviews. Glenn has over 50 years of experience in military, scientific, commercial diving, aerospace and hyper-hypobaric engineering, research and clinical operations. He's the founder and CEO of Life Support Technologies (LST) group. Founded in 1984, LST's initial mission was to transfer deep diving/hyperbaric technologies and oxygen enriched air (nitrox) diving and oxygen safety techniques to NASA, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the U.S. Department of Defense. Today, LST's group of companies specializes in advanced wound care, hyperbaric medicine, hyperbaric tunneling and aerospace hypobaric consulting and engineering services. During the COVID-19 pandemic, LST has been instrumental in aiding Metro New York hospitals with hyperbaric therapies and other life-saving measures. Over the course of his career, Glenn and key associates have developed and provided advanced commercial and military deep diving and saturation techniques decompression tables and equipment. Currently, he has 12 deep diving/hyperbaric technologies patents and 48 peer-reviewed scientific papers. As of 2021, Glenns' professional appointments include the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society Hyperbaric Safety Committee; the National Pressure Injury Advisory Panels Support Surface Standards Committee; and NFPA-99 Healthcare Facilities Codes Hyperbaric Facilities Committee (2005 edition). Because of what I learned from Glenn, I actually tried the hyperbaric oxygen chamber to speed up some slow healing after my breast cancer surgery. I share that story candidly and Glenn shares a lot of great candid information here in our warm and interesting conversation so you'll know what to expect on your spaceflight.

How We Talk About Gender In honor of Pride Month, the How We Talk About team discusses gender – how we can affirm the presence of a truly diverse and inclusive Jewish community by sharing pronouns, offering alternatives to gendered and binary Jewish rituals (such as bar/bat mitzvah), and thinking about alternative ways to form groups or teams instead of boys vs. girls. What is the important conversation that we need to have about gender in the Jewish community? Jen Stern Granowitz and Erin Beser are joined by Dubbs Weinblatt, the Associate Director of Education and Training for Metro New York at Keshet and the Founder and Executive Producer of Thank You For Coming Out, a podcast and live improv show celebrating the LGBTQ+ community. Weinblatt is currently undergoing a physical transition to better affirm their gender identity and embarking upon a journey to their adult B-mitzvah, a gender-neutral approach to the traditional Jewish coming-of-age ceremony. Listen for advice and guidance about how to have these important conversations about gender. Discussion and Reflection Questions What are ways you have made your classroom inclusive regarding gender? What is the next step to make your learning environment more inclusive? Is there a time when you used gendered language when, in hindsight, you could have used different language? Question from Dubbs Weinblatt: Think of a time when you were able to bring your full self into a space – fully celebrated and fully affirmed. What did that feel like? How did you know that you were fully affirmed? How did that moment of authenticity affect your relationship with the community you were in? And how can you take that feeling and bring it back to your classroom/learning space/community to help create the same space for others to belong?

This season we are joined with some amazing WOC leaders (pastors, activists, writers, and everything in between) who share how they are answering a call to do the work at this time. We are calling this season Tapestry of Call because we see each person's call and vocation as a part of a whole. We're all connected. Our first episode starts out with Rev Nicolette Marie Peñaranda. She shares with us what it's like to be a bi-vocational pastor. The challenges and triumphs. And we are grateful to know her and for her willingness to be transparent and share some of her journey with us. Here's her bio: Rev. Nicolette Marie Peñaranda is the pastor of First Lutheran Church of the Trinity in the Bridgeport neighborhood of Chicago, IL. Nic was raised in the Metro New York area where she attended Wagner College for her degree in Sociology, History, and Masters in Business Administration. While receiving her MDiv at Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia, Nic began merging her love of art with scripture. This blend has led to a mural on display at Instituto Evangelico Argentino en Grand Bourg, Argentina and at the 2018 National Youth Gathering’s Creative Expressions area. She is now the 2022 National Youth Gathering’s Creative Expressions Manager to continue to put her craft to use. Outside of the church, Nic leads racial justice facilitations through her game MONadvocacy. The Peñaranda family now resides in Berwyn, Illinois where Nic is running for City Council member. When Nic is not accompanying a congregation or running for office, she spends time with her spouse Dennis, her daughter Mahalia, and her two cats Penne and Rigatoni.

Jesus Christ, liberator.The chains of racism, bigotry, homophobia, and white supremacy have gripped our world. As Christians who take on the name of Christ in their identity, we must take part in the liberation Christ brings by being a voice of love and justice, especially for the most vulnerable communities among us.Rev. Kelsey Brown is here today to call us to this work, and remind us that the grace and freedom so freely given to us is a grace we are called to extend. The liberation of Christ frees us to liberate others. The grace of God also liberates us to live as our truest, most authentic selves - flaws and all.Even on our worst days, as Rev. Brown reminds us, God loves us still. Every part of us. The abundance of God’s grace and mercy is overflowing.Sit in on this conversation between Rev. Brown and Pastor Kelsey as they discuss how church isn’t just about comforting us, but challenging us. Calling us in to worship, and calling us out to serve - with all our flaws and the grace of God....Rev. Kelsey Brown is the pastor of Jehu’s Table in Brooklyn, New York. She describes herself as sometimes funny, very queer, frequently anxious, and completely absurd. A 20-something hailing from Long Island, New York – she comes equipped with the accent & attitude to back it up. In her free time, she is falling back in love with spoken word poetry, breaking it down on the dance floor, and ritual creation. She believes with her full heart that God’s delight in diversity is call for us all to embrace the fullness of humanity. Racial justice and advocacy work fuel her fire, while deep friendships and long naps quench her thirst.She can be seen in her natural habitat - quoting showtunes, doubled over in laughter and challenging others to “do the work.” Her ministry in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America has taken many courses including camping ministry in New Jersey, Synod work in Metro New York and Internship in sunny Southern California. Ready to be back home in NYC - Pastor Kelsey brings to the Church a pulse of integrity and personhood for all people, a love of preaching and deep care for the other.

Jeff Urbanchuk sits down with ACEC Board Chairman, Mitch Simpler, for the first in a series of quarterly interviews that we like to call the Chairman's Corner. Transcript:Host: 00:18 We are pleased to be joined by Mitch Simpler, ACC board chair, in what we hope will be the first of many appearances on our podcast as the chairman's report or the chairman's corner. Kind of figuring out what we're going to call it, but a on a quarterly basis hopefully we can get a Mitch on to talk about what's happening at ACEC and in the engineering industry. Mitch, welcome to the show and happy 4th of July week.Mitch Simpler: 00:55 Jeff, my pleasure to be here and the problem you're going to have in the future is not getting me on. It's getting me off.Host: 01:01 That's fine. I'd rather have more content than less. Um we were just kind of talking before we went on a that were coming off of a series of leadership orientations here at headquarters where we had staff from our member organizations who got some one on one time with the DC staff to learn more about the organization and what we can offer. And then of course, what they can offer us. And there seemed to be a good deal of positivity and energy coming after those meetings. What was your take?Mitch Simpler: 01:29 Well, my take was exactly the same thing. The energy was, was amazing. I've been to probably to at least a half a dozen of these orientations, uh, retreats as it were over the past half a dozen years or so. Clearly the energy level was significantly different and better. Um, and I attribute that certainly a lot of it to Linda and her team, which are just highly engaged and very engaging to the, to the participants. But probably the big difference was that it was not a monologue. It was a dialogue. The fundamental change that was made is that instead of lecturing in front of a room full of 50 people, Linda and her team broke it up into small groups of seven or eight and each of the group leaders from ACEC now had an opportunity to sit one on one with the various leadership, uh, people from the from the MOs. And they had a chance to have a dialogue. And that was really impressive to see how much the, the leaders were engaged in the process. And, uh, and the positive feedback that we got has been significant. And the clearly a home run for Linda and her team,Host: 02:41 It was definitely a different dynamic sitting around with the table and just talking to everyone and just getting feedback. And especially in the media side, you know, talking about how people engage at the state level and, and how we can help them. And then of course the policy guys, then membership and all the different segments of ACEC Washington being able to interact was, was great and it did provide that back and forth and energy and it kind of goes into the idea of, of of what we have to offer and ACEC's strengths, um, you know, coming in as, as chairman, what do you see as ACEC's greatest strengths that we can leverage?Mitch Simpler: 03:21 Our strengths has been and will continue to be certainly in the DC area is our advocacy program. But one of the things that we've changed this year, um, and Steve Hall leads an amazing group of lobbyists and policymakers, but the big change was we've added another team member who was really part of our outward facing, uh, group. And that's, Mr Dave Bender, who was the exec out of Illinois. Dave comes with 20 years plus experience in dealing with members of Congress, uh, understands what makes them tick. And he may be a party of one at this point that does, but, but he certainly does. And I think his addition to the team has been absolutely a monumental and I think will significantly change not only how we are able to interface with, with Capitol Hill, but also, um, how they will view us. They being Capitol Hill will now look to ACEC because they will have a face literally, at their disposal. Um, and I think that we'll have again, a significant impact on what already is one of our greatest strengths, which is our advocacy programs.Host: 04:31 Yeah. Dave coming on the team has been a seamless transition. He's come on board and hit the ground running. And of course he's coming to us after a massive victory in Illinois. The governor, of course on Friday signed in the largest infrastructure investment in the state's history for about, 30 years. Um, they have not touched user fees and this the first time in 30 years they've actually taken a proactive step to invest. And that was largely due to Dave's hard work at the state level. And if, you know, the picture of the bill signing, there's some hard hats. And on those hard hats there was an ACEC logo at the bill signing so that shows that we had an impact. So that's, that's a really good point with Dave coming on board. Um, and the fact that it will help with the national footprint. Um, you know, you mentioned advocacy, that's still one of our main, focus points. And you know, we have the debate over infrastructure, you know, the work that's being done in Washington. But we have to think about beyond the beltway and how much does, our work here kind of translate to your world in New York, of course, in the private marketplace? And does it have that much penetration of people's attention elsewhere?Mitch Simpler: 05:45 Well, so this kind of put it in a, in a bigger picture. So what ACEC is doing in, in the Metro area, particularly on Capitol Hill, is continuing beat the drum as to how important infrastructure is to the country, not just to ACEC and the members of ACEC, we implement the policies that get executed. The key is to get the policies executed in the first place and and we're there to remind all of the legislators at this is an important component to what makes our country great. And if we want to continue the growth that we're having, we need to invest in infrastructure. It doesn't just impact, um, you know, the, the horizontal and the, and the transportation people. It impacts all businesses at all levels. And so even though I am a private sector predominant proponent, because that's the business I'm in, my, my businesses, the people that I work for will all benefit by improved infrastructure, whether it's highways, bridges, tunnels, rails in a modal, transportation, sea ports, airports, all those things improve business.Mitch Simpler: 06:56 And that's what we need to do as a country. We need to do as an industry and what ACEC needs to promote or certainly continue to promote how important all that infrastructure is. Um, and New York City is not exempt by any means. Then in fact, we have the same issues that the country has as a whole. New York City and all the metro areas have the same issues and that they have not been investing in infrastructure on a continuous basis. It has fallen behind. The disrepair is costing all of us time and money. So investment in our infrastructure will help everybody, private sector, public sector across the board. And uh, and so that message has gotten through loud and clear. Uh, not only is it loud and clear from the federal level and from ACEC national level, but at the local level, both the state MOs and then those states that have regional MOs, that message is being driven right down to the grassroots because it is that important. And, uh, and thank God ACEC is continuing to wave the flag as to how important it is for all of us in order for our businesses to succeed, for our country to be successful.Host: 08:03 Absolutely. And you did mention the fact that you come from predominantly from the private marketplace and I know that one of your, key focuses is broadening ACEC's membership. Of course, you know, we have a lot of focus on firms that do work in the public sector. Um, a lot of, you know, the work in advocacy has a direct impact on state DOT's, and agencies like that. But who do you think is underrepresented and, how can we bring them into the ACEC family?Mitch Simpler: 08:36 Well, as I said at the last podcast, certainly, uh, my focus is to raise the awareness of what the private sector can do. And I say private sectors, it's anybody in the engineering industry outside of the horizontal transportation, Intermodal Transportation Industry, which ACC has done a spectacular job of bringing to our table. But, but as I said previously, that represents only 20% of the built environment in the u s the other 80% is the private sector. Um, what we hope to do, what certainly my mission is, is to raise the awareness of private sector firms and that ACEC exists and what can we do for them and as much as what we can do for them, can they do for us as an industry to help raise our overall voice. Um, and I've mentioned this previously that certainly in New York, Metro New York in particular has a very, very strong, upwards of 50% of our membership is private sector.Mitch Simpler: 09:39 Um, what we refer to as the vertical component. These are people that design buildings, hospitals, hotels, residential towers, um, and the university work institutional. Uh, hospitals and those, those kinds of of projects. Uh, and what is the value that we bring? Well, the fact is that we all have so much in common with all other engineering firms. ACEC becomes sort of the, the, the, uh, the common denominator for all of us to be able to communicate to network. Uh, in addition to the traditional value added, um, programs that ACEC brings to its members, whether it's access to the trust, uh, but the single biggest thing for the private sector is the networking component. And where firms can have an opportunity to meet, discuss, uh, joint ventures and combining team efforts, uh, to become, you know, a greater industry representative. And it has been hugely successful.Mitch Simpler: 10:41 Um, the other big thing that the private sector brings to the table is other means by which you can do project work, particularly doing lump sum. And I know lump sum and a lot of conversations with our traditional membership is like a dirty word. But the fact of the matter is that lump sum does now give you an opportunity to be more innovative, more ingenious, and, and, and come up with better, more efficient ways to bring a project to to bear and to the marketplace for your client and make money at the same time. It's a win win for all sides, but it's a different way to approach a project. What we hope the private sector can do is to bring that experience to the table so that both the public sector and the private sector can benefit.Host: 11:27 You've also mentioned, um, ACEC New York's success in becoming really the go-to organization for, uh, the city, uh, when looking at building codes and looking at new standards for construction in the city. Um, and how really the expertise of ACEC membership is brought to bear and is reflected in construction that the city. Do you find that in speaking to your peers and ACEC, do you see that as unique, or is that something that is, replicated or, or could it be a model for other MOs to follow?Mitch Simpler: 12:07 It's certainly a model. Um, and, and if you, uh, go back and my sort of, my opening statement at the last pod conversation was, you know, what are my goals, my goal? And one of the reasons that we, we liked Linda and her team and, but Linda particularly when we brought her on board as our new CEO, was that one of our goals is to become the voice of the engineering industry. We've accomplished that in New York, in New York City in particular. The reason that the city comes to us is because they know that the members of ACEC are, singularly, the most knowledgeable and unbiased voices to provide technical expertise to the city. So the key example that we use is that the chairs of all of the major code committees, I'm chair of the Mechanical Committee, the structural, the fire alarm, the plumbing and fire protection, the elevator, all those committees are chaired by members of ACEC.Mitch Simpler: 13:05 Why? Because the the city came to ACEC and said, who should we use to chair these committees? Um, and it's because of their experience over the past 20 plus years that the ACEC team brings the best, most experienced, uh, people to the table to provide what needs to be provided to get this, in this particular case, a code rewrite completed. It would certainly be my hope that we can take that model and share that with all of the MOs so that at the end of the day, ACEC does become the voice of the engineering industry. That would be the ultimate end game. And, and then what it does for the membership is give them, um, insight in terms of the mechanisms and the thought processes for why things get done the way they do, whether it's in government, uh, whether it's for code purposes and just industry leadership in general from a business perspective. Um, and I think it is a absolutely realistic and doable goal. Um, it is something that, that we know will work. And the key is to be able to take what was done in New York and model that and get that out to the mos so that we can use that as an exemplar of what can be done.Host: 14:23 And do you find there's a receptive audience among the MO executives to that kind of a message?Mitch Simpler: 14:28 Oh, absolutely. And again, anecdotally, when we have conversations, we tell them this is the, this is what we do. And the Metro area, they said, boy, we would love to be able to do that. How do we do it? And the key is, and this is the beauty of the Federation of ACEC, is that we are able to share knowledge. Um, the NACE right, was just a national association executive, uh, directors for ACEC, the group of executive directors from all 51 MOs meet regularly. And the next focus is going to be what can we do in terms of best practices to be able to attract, the, the other, the non traditional, uh, ACEC firms and how do we leverage that to become a more vocal and respected member of our community so that the community then turns to ACEC as the voice of the industry and say, look, this is the issue. What do you think? Who Do you have on your, on your, on your Rolodex to be able to help us get to a solution? And that's, that's the place we want to be. And that's an enviable position to be sure. But something that is well within our reach.Host: 15:41 And that goes right to Linda's idea that, you know, really it's not a question of being part of the conversation. It's to lead the conversation that we have the opportunity to do that. And it kind of goes back to the the leadership orientations that we've had, because we want to make sure that our membership, um, really takes advantage of all the tools that we have at our disposal between, um, the webinar educational series. Um, the advocacy of course, um, and just all of the different resources that are available to them to assist them in kind of developing themselves into being these, you know, being able to carry this message, uh, to their local governments, to, you know, their into their economies, uh, in their states.Mitch Simpler: 16:25 Right. And again, we'll go back to where we started this conversation. And that was the issue of the leadership orientation. The big difference was now each of the, the MO leadership had an opportunity to meet with the various department heads on firstly a one to one basis and the veil of, you know, who is really the right person to talk to and who's, you know, what's the, what's the right conversation to take place? They were able to do that on a one to one basis. And, and, and because of that, the, the, the, uh, relationships started to develop between ACEC national and the MOs literally at the first meeting. And as the day went on, it became abundantly clear that there was clearly dialogues happening, that there was the MO leadership was less inhibited to ask questions. And one of the things that we mentioned that certainly, and, and, and, and I, and Charlie G who is the incoming chair and, and Linda, we were floaters. We just popped literally butterflies hopping from table to table to purpose to which we thought originally was to sort of be catalyst to help the conversation get started. And I will tell you with no exception, we walked into the middle of very active conversations and it was really, really rewarding to see how everybody was engaged. And my hope is as a result of that, that the mos will feel less inhibited about reaching out to national for information to, uh, to make sure they're not repeating a mistake that's already been made and for fresh ideas. And that I think was all the the takeaways from this orientation, which was all really positive and that will be a benefit to both sides.Host: 18:05 Absolutely. Um, I do want to kind of pivot to another issue, which is also another hot topic. Um, both Linda and, and for yourself and really for the industry in general. And that's the commoditization of engineering. Uh, which is something, you know, we talk about internally, our members of course, talk a lot about, um, whether, whether or not that's actually seen as much by policymakers on the Hill. That's an open question which we have to work on. But you know, if you were meeting with, you know, let's say the chairman of the Transportation Committee in the house, you know, how would you put, how would you encapsulate the danger of commoditization for them to understand and what it means for, for just, you know, the economy for public safety, for everything?Mitch Simpler: 18:51 Well, in the commoditization of professional services is probably singularly the one of the greatest threats to our industry. Because what it does, it does not reward innovation. Does not reward access and use of best available technology. It just lowers the quality of service and the performance and the product down to the lowest common denominator. Part of our job, our advocacy program is to educate not only the people on the Hill that make the decisions, but to raise the awareness of our own industry, of what we're doing to ourselves. We need to be sure that people understand that engineering is not a commodity in any way, shape or form. So treating professional services of engineering like a commodity is a huge mistake. Um, what we want to do is have them understand that we want, we want owners, we want, uh, uh, policymakers to appreciate that there are differences.Mitch Simpler: 19:54 That's why QBS is so important because quality is a difference between firm to firm and we want them to pick the most qualified people. And what qualifies one firm over another? A, they're experienced certainly, but B, the way they do project works, how they approach it, what technology, what technology do they employ? Both internal for producing the documents but more employee. What technology do they employ in the actual design itself. If you want our infrastructure to proceed and a forward and upward way, you've got to, you've got to welcome technology, you've got to welcome innovation and commoditizing the fees is exactly the way not to do that. So part of our argument would be to explain to them, these are the types of differences that happen. This is why these differences exist and this is why you need to do QBS. And we are, we are, we are then the fact of the matter is we are the best people to have that conversation. Absolutely. I want to say the only people, but we're certainly the best.Host: 20:58 I mean, well you are. Yeah. I mean, the best thing is that the member firms who are engaged with ACEC are the, uh, they are the people who are creating the innovation, who are breaking new grounds as we see in the engineering excellence awards every year of new standards of doing things, new ways of approaching problems. And uh, it's that work demonstrates the importance of engineers as the thought leaders and as professionals. And not just as, um, you know, providers of a service that can be just boxed up and replicated. And the idea that you can just easily just say, oh, let's in-source the work completely ignores the diversity, the innovation and the creativity of consulting engineers.Mitch Simpler: 21:53 Absolutely. Right. And by the way, I'll kind of circle back to what can, what can the private industry bring to the table for the, for the, for the more traditional ACEC member firms and the private sector, because we do work for lump sum, the vast majority of the time we are rewarded for being innovative, for being ingenious, for being efficient. And those techniques ultimately do work their way down the food chain and over into other aspects of the consulting industry. But by welcoming the private sector firms enter the faults sooner rather than later. That that technology transfer can happen a lot quicker. And I think, again, that would be hugely helpful for ACEC to act as that, I'll use that conduit to get that, uh, that, uh, education process in terms of getting the, what the private sector does every day into the hands of the people that do the more traditional transportation, horizontal work.Host: 22:57 Absolutely. Technology in general is an issue which is always out there, but you think that, um, ACEC could be doing more to position itself as a recognized voice on technology, um, both, you know, as its own subject, but then also to kind of reach some of the younger professionals coming up.Mitch Simpler: 23:21 The answer is yes. Um, technology is the buzz word and will be for the next probably a hundred years. Technology today is changing at a rate faster than ever before in history. And, uh, and I'm getting to be sort of an older dog and I am absolutely amazed at how rapidly technology is changing. Um, and it's not limited just to engineering, not limited to infrastructure. It's across the board in every aspect of life. It's how we train our staff. I mean, that is incredible. Um, the amount of technology that's being literally showered on us every day. Uh, what is ACEC's role in my mind, our role is to be out there and we don't have to become the experts in the, and the, uh, technology market, but we'll, we need to do is be aware of what's happening and act as the, I'll call it the clearing house to make sure that the information regarding technology, where it's being used, how it's being used, where innovation is being, uh, taking advantage of the best available technology and get that information through ACEC out to the Mos and ultimately out to the member firms, not on how to use it, but to be aware of that this is where it exists and this is how it's being applied, that point the, the engineers need to be the engineers and determine whether or not that technology is appropriate for them and how can they best leverage it for their business or their client's business.Mitch Simpler: 24:53 But certainly ACEC's role is to be the clearing house to get that information flowing from those firms that are, that are on the, on the, oh, I'll call it the bleeding edge of technology for the firms that are on the, on the following edge so that everyone can learn and take advantage of the technology, uh, and the quickest possible way.Host: 25:14 Absolutely. And that's again, kind of underscores the importance of ACEC membership both at the state level of course, because we can have a better pulse on what's happening closer to you. But then also the national level because we can serve as that clearing house and help get that best practice information spread as far and wide as possible. And that we can kind of hopefully, you know, a rising tide lifts all boats and more people take advantage of best practices, for these technologies, you know, technology and its implementation. Um, you're able to raise the prominence of the industry and, and, and show that it's not a commodity.Mitch Simpler: 25:49 No, but you know, engineering in general, the general public looks to engineers as the people that are the innovative, creative problem solvers. And if ACC wants to be the voice of the industry, we have to be out there getting the information to our members before they go and just find it out through the more traditional, you know, read about it in the paper, read about it, the magazine. Um, we really need to be out there, sort of, you know, plowing and, and pushing the technology up at, back to our members as soon as it becomes available. At that point they become industry leaders. And I think that's something that we as an organization can be. We can be, thought of as our members, as the people that do help them become better businesses because we are availing them of whatever technology is, emerging and we need to do that. Uh, we've done it, we continued to do it. Um, and I think we can do it on a bigger scale going forward.Host: 26:50 Very well put. Um, I guess that's, that kind of wraps up, um, you know, really what we have. I just wanted to see if you had anything else that you wanted to add at the end here. Um, really just kind of like your perspective as a board chair. Um, and of course we're getting ready, we're gearing up in October for our fall conference in Chicago. Um, you know, what do you see on the horizon? What are you excited about coming up in the next couple of months?Mitch Simpler: 27:18 Well, just in general, what I'm most excited about is this, the level of enthusiasm and the feedback that we're getting at both the grassroots level and up to the MOs. Uh, there's clearly a perception that ACEC is, I'll use my term lifting the veil, uh, that, that national is, uh, open from business and we are there to support all of our mos in any way that we can in any way that we, we are able to. And I think that message is getting through. Uh, and it's really exciting for me when I meet with our MOs, with MO leadership. And member firms, um, that, that perception is really getting down to the grassroots. And I think that's very exciting. Um, I, I am looking forward to, and I have a number of trips planned, the most recent will be next week I'm going to be down in the deep south and have an opportunity to meet with their leadership and, and to get their feedback. But certainly the reviews that I got at the leadership orientation, we had over 50 people at the, at the the one last week. It was all very positive and it's very exciting to see that people do recognize that the change in leadership at ACEC has been for the, for the better and they are looking forward to and moving this thing even and do a greater clarity and more transparency. And that's really what our goal is.Host: 28:50 Well, we definitely have something to say. We've got great messengers to say it and we have the energy to really get the message out. So I think that we're well poised and energized to get this done. So I really appreciate your time again on a holiday week and look forward to doing this on a regular basis. Like I said, we want to try to get a regular quarterly show that is set up for you to come on and talk about really the issues that you care about and really appreciate you being part of the kickoff.Mitch Simpler: 29:23 Terrific. And it is my pleasure and I wish everybody a very happy, healthy, and safe 4th of July.Host: 29:31 Wonderful. Thank you very much.

The speed of change is 10 times faster now than it was a decade ago—and 40% of today's Fortune 500 companies won't exist in 10 years. To stay ahead of that change, there is an urgent need for proactive leaders and entrepreneurs to proactively develop strategies that create the future of work. So says futurist Cheryl Cran, the founder of NextMapping and the author of "NextMapping: Anticipate, Navigate and Create the Future of Work." But don't misunderstand. Although technology is driving much of the change, the common theme of all Cheryl's work is a "people first" and digital second approach that creates a more human future, one in which technology can enhance outcomes for people. In this episode of Talking Business Now, Cheryl joins host Kelly Scanlon to discuss digital disruption in the workplace and the impact on jobs in the future of work. Tune in to learn: - How the “always-on culture” has shifted the traditional work dynamic. - The benefits of technology transformation/adoption in the workplace. - How automation, AI and robots will continue to impact businesses, consumers and employees. - The truth behind the myths of automation (e.g., robots stealing jobs) and what automation really means for employees in the future of work. - How schools and training will need to adapt to create the workforce of the future. - The impact of automation on our cities (e.g., Smart Cities). - Actionable advice to help leaders bring tech and cultural change that prepares and empowers teams to be “future of work” ready.

This episode was produced and sound engineered by Jackson Balling, and hosted by Scot Wingo. Transcript: Scot: [00:51] Welcome to the Vehicle 2.0 Podcast. This is Episode 8 and it's being recorded Thursday, April 25th, 2019. Welcome back Vehicle 2.0 listeners this week on the show. We are going to take a break from all the guests we've had on. We've really enjoyed and learned a ton in the last arc of gassed. And we're going to cover some news here in the automobile industry related to Vehicle 2.0 in last week's episode seven, we had Chris Brown from Bob Business Media and he is the editor of auto rental news where they think a lot about the changing ownership models out there. And if you recall, he curates the international car rental show, also known as ICRS. First, uh, to kick off this news episode, we have the co-founder of spiffy our very own Karl Murphy and he's gonna give us a trip report, a fresh off the heels of his trip to Las Vegas last week to the show. Welcome to the show, Karl. Karl: [01:52] Thanks Scot. Scot: [01:53] So you were in Vegas last week at the trade show. It's our first time ever going to this trade show. We were a, uh, we were an exhibitor, um, and uh, you know what? Uh, so it was a great show for spiffy and enjoyed a really exhibiting there. Uh, but that's not what we want to talk about today. What are, I know you were able to peel away and see a bunch of the content. Um, what were some of the trends and topics going on at the show? Karl: [02:16] Sure. So it's, uh, an interesting show. It had a mix of both large companies like Avis and Hertz and Ford and Toyota and small entrepreneurs. You know, companies like spiffy that makes software and entrepreneurs that have small fleets, maybe 10 or 20 cars and they're renting to a, uh, small Mitch. So it was interesting to talk to global companies and small folks. Um, it's uh, like three quarters us attendance and maybe 25% international. So we spoke to people from Brazil and Australia, Canada, a couple of Europeans were there. And so it's, it's interesting to get their perspective. It's, it's interesting, you know, um, their, their challenges are the same year. They all sort of a, from a vendor standpoint talk about the same things and want the same things. Karl: [03:01] Um, it was well attended. It was at the, you know, it was in Vegas at the Paris hotel in a, from a, from a provider's standpoint or vendor stand standpoint, really high quality attendees. It's like the people who showed up at our decision makers, they were running the fleet or they're the CEO or their, you know, sort of at a, at a corporate, you know, if they're smaller company, if it's a corporate level, it's sort of the, the decision maker or sort of one level away. So there wasn't a lot of um, you know, sort of distracting boost traffic, people looking for chotchkies and that sort of stuff. Nobody, nobody cared about our pens and penguins. They cared about our service and um, and sort of the things that we're doing to help fleet operators provide better preventative maintenance. Scot: [03:43] Cool. So, um, uh, so when we had Chris on the show, he talked about a lot of the different trends. Um, it feels to me having come from the ecommerce industry that, that it must feel a lot like a kind of retail shows where everyone, you have kind of the, the, you know, the, the industry stalwarts there kind of a little bit in shell shock and then this whole new group that kind of sees the future. Uh, did you get a vibe that, you know, folks are in denial about what's going on or is everyone kind of onboard with it? Karl: [04:12] Uh, there's like two camps, right? So there's the accepting the changes in the industry and the, and the changes in mobility that are going on and that, that Uber and Lyft exist and those companies are gonna be around for awhile and they impact the rental industry. Uh, clearly, um, the large auto companies see those guys as a threat to people taking, you know, taking their business. Um, there was an enormous amount of, uh, small entrepreneurs and small, you know, I mean it could be 2000 cars. It's sort of a small fleet, um, to, you know, maybe 20 or 30, but small entrepreneurs looking to get into, uh, you know, the changing mobility landscape. So they're either subletting, sub leasing cars to Uber drivers on a, on a short term basis. You know, it could be a day or a week or a month depending on sort of their model. They're software companies, they're providing all kinds of software to solve those problems for entrepreneurs. Karl: [05:06] Um, you know, some of those were companies that didn't make the comp competitive cut against Uber and Lyft and they repackaged and rebranded and now they're trying to help smaller entrepreneurs who are delivering services. Um, and, but there's clearly like there's some definite old school companies trying to solve old school problems. Um, I attended a, um, for like 10 minutes, there was a presentation on the, the um, sales characteristics and recruiting profile of a high performing counter agent, you know, and, and, and essentially, you know, they just want to sell you insurance, right. Um, and get you in, you know, they want to take you from the, the Toyota Tercel to the Tahoe. And then add, you know, double secret, leave the keys in the road, incentives at grid, coordinate insurance. You don't owe us anything. Um, and, and I, I was here for like 10 minutes. I'm like, you know, it's sort of like you who's selling buggies today, you know, like, I need somebody really good to sell buggies. Karl: [06:02] Um, because as a client I don't ever want to have my, my car rental customer experience breaks down when I go see the counter agent. Yeah. It's like the opposite of what the customer experience should be. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, I just want to like get keys and go to the car and drive away. Like you have my Amex and you have my id and my driver's license and I'll give you a retina scan and a fingerprint if you want. I would put a track, I mean, I'm sure you have a tracker on the car already. Right? And there's some of that stuff too. And, and so there's this dichotomy of there's all this connected car data and they talked about being able to shut down cars, you know, because I guess there's some issue where people will, you know, they'll rent in San Antonio and drive to Mexico and strip the car apart. Karl: [06:38] And, you know, you never, you never see the vehicle again. They, that's, that's a problem the industry for them. Um, and I was like, you know, this, this is sort of a wasted, you know, this is a 1970s, um, uh, session versus, you know, sort of impact of micro mobility and, and, and, and there's a lot of opportunity for it. I think. Um, you know, as the previous guests said, you know, there's all this data being shared that cities and governments are looking forward to, to reduce traffic problems. Um, and, and that, you know, I think that's a way for the industry to get on the side of, of government, hey, we got all this data. We can, we can better route traffic or we can charge different fees for different access points and when there's rush out and that sort of thing. Scot: [07:22] Yeah. Um, I saw a fair amount of Twitter traffic around. Um, there's a lot of pundits that come to these shows and kind of share their vision into the future. A Cox auto's has a, an economist there. Uh, it must be nice to have an economist. We don't, we're not big enough. It's 50 to have our own economist yet. Karl: [07:39] That's you, Scot. Scot: [07:40] Yeah, I'm a, I'm a couch economist. The uh, uh, what, what were some of the trends he was talking about and they've certainly been really active in this space. Karl: [07:48] Yeah. So it's interesting. They, they, uh, so at a, at a high level, they thought, um, GDP was like in the high ones, so like one five to, to sorta depending on, um, trade tensions, Paris and that sort of thing, you know, x, some sort of a dramatic positive or negative impact on the economy, you know, terrorist incident or some crazy tax cut or something. He was outside of things we can't forecast. He thought he was sorta like, here's my bets. Like one, eight, one, nine. Um, and then, uh, at the car level, it was interesting. I just don't, I don't really think about this stuff, but he's like, the average cost of a new car is going to tick over $40,000 in the next year or so. I can 2019, maybe 20, 20. Um, and it's, it's being driven by the desire for consumers, for larger cars, SUVs and trucks. Karl: [08:38] Um, and then the dealers just, you know, from a manufacturing standpoint, not making small cars like Fords, like not making sedans minus the Mustang and the mustangs like to get into a Mustang with like, you know, without a radio. It's like 45 grand or something. And so that was interesting. And then dovetails Edo, he talked about some of the trends that we talk about spiffy about millennials and their changing behaviors. And you know, they prefer to live in cities. They prefer to have experiences over owning things like, and in some cases, you know, we have, you know, millennial, you know, you're 17 and you don't have a driver's license. You know, I know you and I talk like that was like the first thing to get your freedom at 16 was to get your driver's license and get out of here, get out of your house. Karl: [09:19] And so, um, it's, uh, all those things swirling together, um, make it difficult for dealers. Right. Um, and, and so it was interesting to see that. Um, he had some interesting data and I know we talked about this offline, about the cost of ownership for like, say a baby boomer versus a millennial and it's like 20 cents a mile higher, right? And so they do it in cost per mile. Uh, and like if you're like 50 or 60, it's like 50 cents a mile to own a car. And for a millennial it's like 75 or 77 cents. And it swirls into, you know, higher insurance rates because you're younger, a higher interest rates because you have less credit history or some smaller incomes. And that you live in an urban environment. So then just things like parking fees and that sort of stuff get higher and you're using your ma, your car less if you do own a picture in an urban environment. Karl: [10:12] So all of those things come in. And then it, it really pulls people out of buying cars new, which makes the used car market bigger, which is relevant to the car rental agencies piss a bunch of them, have a model where they just make money selling their cars on the secondary market. Um, and so there's a lot of discussion about how do you sell cars? Do you sell them direct? Like enterprise has their own used car sales lots so you can drive up and by car from enterprise today. Um, or do you go through auctions, um, traditional auctions that our dealer to dealer, um, which would then put you into like a, you know, a local used car guy, um, or some of the newer platforms where you're like a Carvana where you're selling it, um, online to someone. And so it was, uh, he had, he had a lot of insights about that. Karl: [11:00] He felt like the Oems, we're going to survive. Um, he thought the dealer networks, we're sort of at risk. Um, and he felt like the auctions had to really evolve. Ppas. There's a lot of, a lot of people chipping away at the edges of the traditional auction business. Um, it was interesting. It's interesting to sorta hear the side talk among people depending on who they were. Um, you know, again, we're sort of side participant vendors in that market, but the people were pretty, it was interesting to hear that. Yep. Cool. And then now when we had Chris on the show, one of the big topics he talked about is, so if we have this change in ownership model from individual ownership to more business ownership, uh, and um, you know, who's going to take care of all, all these vehicles, this is obviously near and dear to our heart. Karl: [11:43] Um, so he kind of talked about fleet management as a service. A, is that something that was talked about at the show or were there a lot of vendors there for that? Uh, there were couple of vendors. I mean there's us and a, and a couple others. Um, it was absolutely a topic of people that visited us. I would say 75, 80% of the people who came to talk to us, we're looking to do that. Again, it's, it's primarily the new players to the market because the business sounds interesting until you own cars and they're split up all over. You know, I've got, I'm a distributed, you know, mobility network provider in Los Angeles. I own 200 cars in there into 10 lots across La. Oh Wow. I have a lot of things to do all over, uh, you know, an 18 million person city. And so they're looking for people to go out there and deal with the cars. Karl: [12:31] I mean, one of the things that was interesting, we've, we saw a, um, a digital, um, key exchange system, right? So it's highly secure, sort of designed to be in, in the most dangerous of locations and, and really, you know, to, to withstand sort of vandalism, that sort of thing. You know, you can show a bar code and it, it's, it's a gps or a cell phone enabled. And so it communicates it. And that was super interesting and they were across the, across the way from us in the trade show area and had, they had a lot of traffic and then people coming to us asking, you know, can you know, what are the services you can do? And, and when they talk, when we, you know, we said, hey, we do, you know, fleet fleet maintenance, we can do preventative maintenance, oil change, tire rotation, um, car washing, all that sort of stuff. Karl: [13:17] They, they got pretty excited about it because they're seeing that that's a problem, right? Because as soon as you start moving the vehicles, then they get dirty and the more successful you are, the more maintenance you need and all those sorts of things. So it was, it was, um, it was an exciting validation of our model. Yeah. Um, so there seems to be this lifecycle where people kind of start dabbling with, um, you know, I've, I've even seen people, they'll Turo, they're their own vehicle. Then they'll, they'll realize there's money to be made. Then they'll add a second and then they'll build into these micro fleets and then they're gonna need a fleet services and those kinds of things. Um, a lot of the investors I talk to you, they kind of like build models and they say the economics will never work. But then at the same time, I see these guys scaling up from tens to hundreds to thousands of vehicles. Karl: [13:59] So, um, do you get any vibe that this model is working for these guys here? We spoke to someone who own 2000 cars in Metro New York and, you know, and they were not like enterprise, right? They were like, you know, it was like Scott and Karl, but they're in New York. And um, you know, I asked them a little bit about what, you know, you know, we had a good conversation. You know, I was obviously interested in talking about their business and how we can help them. We had a little bit of a conversation about their business model and they were pretty cagey about it. But I mean, I, I find it hard to believe you can get the 2000 cars before, you know, you don't figure out the econ economics don't work. You know, it's like, yeah, I could see you could have 20 cars and you could sort of fun that to a point where like, yeah, something must be working to be able to afford 2000 guards. Yeah. It's probably a utilization thing out. Imagine. And they, um, and they must have figured out like, uh, you also kind of start to wonder like, how do they go and acquire all these drivers? And so Scot: [14:52] they almost have to have a marketing, you know, how do they get their utilization up? It'll be a nurse in to, to, to understand how that works as this scales up. Karl: [14:59] Yeah. I v V this particular guy was providing cars to the two major, you know, Uber and Lyft. Right? Yeah. And so I think he has some sort of relationship with them where they're feeding them leads. He didn't seem like he had a big marketing push or problem. He had, he had maintenance and operations problems, um, where the, the law, the list of their problems for the most part. Scot: [15:20] Cool. Awesome. Any other last thoughts about the show? Karl: [15:23] No, it was interesting. I mean there was a whole session on connected car, um, which is cool. Um, they talked about connected car and autonomy and I think they generally felt like, uh, you know, autonomy sort of like five years out plus in connected cars, been here for five years and the, the, the communication and the marketing firm, everybody sorta was disconnected. Um, the rental car agencies think about connected cars. How can we sell more stuff to people renting our cars because of the data we have on them. That was like, hey, that was the major focus of the, of an hour long session. Um, I as a, as a car or rent or on a traveler, I didn't really know what I wanted them to sell me. Like if I want to go to a restaurant, I'm going to use Google or Yelp or open table or something. Karl: [16:12] And so I sort of felt like they were trying to duplicate things that exist already. Um, you know, there was some sort of compliance sort of legal stuff. Like, you know, you said you were going to leave the state and then you laughed. But they have those trackers now and I don't know what news from that, you know, they can sorta tell those things before. A lot of connected car stuff. So uh, but it was interesting they were talking about it. It was very, it was very, you know, current model centric, not sort of new model centric. And then they also did talk about sharing data. You know, I guess as business people you always sort of like, you know, run up against the government and everyone sort of like hair on the back or the neck stands up on end when the government shows up. Um, but they were all fairly positive about sharing data with government entities to to improve traffic flow and, and to generally, you know, be a, be a positive player in the transportation communities that they, that they operate in, which is sort of pretty interesting. I know here in Raleigh we have more traffic problems that we had 10 years ago and I'm looking forward to, you know, all that data, making it better personally. Scot: [17:11] Yeah. Awesome. Well thanks for that trip report and thanks for being on the podcast. Karl: [17:14] Thanks Scot. Scot: [17:33] So that's all the news from ICRS. Now let's look at some of the news from around the industry, uh, from other sources. As a reminder here on the Vehicle 2.0 Podcast, we look at the Vehicle 2.0 framework and that's where we look at the four waves of innovation sweeping through the auto industry conductivity, changing ownership models, electrification and autonomy in news, uh, on connectivity. There's been this really interesting public kind of spat between, uh, one of our guests on the show, smart car. Uh, they have a competitor called Otonomo and this erupted into the press has reported a actually this week in tech crunch, uh, these guys are battling out. It looks like there's, um, some, uh, potential copying going on or some kind of intellectual property battle between these two companies. They both provide API for autonomous are, sorry, excuse me, for connectivity in cars and they are definitely battling it out in public. Scot: [18:32] If your interested in that we'll put a link in the show notes. Um, there was an interesting study published a here in the last week or so, uh, where they asked 3000 adults, uh, about various things around vehicles. Uh, and this is from Kantar a half the consumers said they would be a, you know, very likely or extremely likely to use their car as a way of pain. Um, so imagine, you know, we, we are in the touchless payment world and ecommerce now where you can just tap your phone to an NFC chip and pay for things. What if your car had payment credentials and as you drove through, uh, you know, it seems like a likely scenario would be drive throughs if you drove through a drive through your, your vehicle kind of talked to the drive through and authenticated payment. Um, uh, so, uh, that's an interesting use of connected car for payments that we haven't really seen. Scot: [19:21] But it sounds like consumers are eager to try it out. Moving on to changing ownership models. Uh, the big news there is tech crunch reported yesterday that one of the top, uh, person to person ride sharing companies get around, uh, acquired one of their larger competitors in Europe called Drivy. Uh, so, uh, that was a $300 million acquisition with which is obviously pretty substantial. Uh, get around, has raised 400 million. So it's not clear if they just used all that on this acquisition or if this was funded through some debt or, or maybe even some, maybe that's an equity value. Um, and so get around was valued at 600 million, uh, before the acquisition. So this is surely going to get them close to the Unicorn level, which is the billion dollar evaluation. Um, one of the most active large investors in this overall space is Softbank. Uh, and they are one of the investors in and get around, uh, the investors in Drivy are index ventures and cafe innovation. Scot: [20:25] That's a, a pair of spaced, a investor out there. So a, the companies or the CEO's going to stay on and, and effectively run the European business. So now you kind of have this, this first look at a global, a car sharing company on the P to p side. So can be interesting to watch to see how that scales up. Tens of electrification news. Uh, we don't have time to go into all of it. Um, I thought the most interesting things we saw this week, uh, we have Ford invested 500 million, so Ford's very active also in mobility and they announced a $500 million investment in the electric pickup maker. Ravion. Uh, so ravion has a really cool, uh, electric pickup and this investment, uh, looks like it's going to have multi-facets so they're going to work on, um, some new technology for essentially using the rubion platform for a new Ford vehicle. Scot: [21:19] At the same time for it said that we're going to continue with their own internal development, um, which, uh, they specifically called out a plugin version of the Ford, the very popular Ford F-150 pickup. Um, I'm excited about this because, uh, you know, the service industry is where a lot of these trucks essentially go trucks and vans. And, uh, here it's 50. We would love to use a evs instead of a internal combustion engine vehicles. So it's gonna be great to see if we can kind of start to get more of the commercial vehicles electrified, uh, in this partnership. Certainly signals that that's on the way. One of the areas I watch really closely for electric vehicle news is China. Um, so, uh, they, they had kind of their annual report out. Um, the for last year, the, there's more triple the manufacturers of evs registered in China now and passenger vehicles sales, uh, for electric vehicles are going to exceed 1.6 million units this year. Scot: [22:17] And in 2019. Um, so, uh, so this huge kind of a bubble is forming there. Some people are calling it a bubble. Uh, you know, uh, there's a lot of negative connotations around bubbles, but I, I, you know, I think what we do see is the government of China is very supportive of the consumers are buying these. Uh, and the other interesting data point is, uh, that evs make up 4%, but they're on a track to get to 20% very quickly by 2025. Um, and so that's going to be like 7 million units. When you, when you talk about China, everything's multiplied almost by a factor of 10 from the u s so, so a lot going on there and it's going to be interesting to watch. Uh, one of the consequences of the excitement around electric vehicles in China is sales of traditional cars are really plunging, um, and they've been down substantially for the 10th straight month in a row from March. Scot: [23:11] Um, so the economy's slowing, they're a little bit due to trade tensions, uh, so that's causing it. But then, uh, electric vehicles are definitely a surging past the, the normal vehicles. Um, uh, back here in the U S if we look at 2018, um, the number of registrations for electric vehicles doubled in 2018. So that's good news here in the u s uh, so that's, there was 208,000 new electric vehicles registered. Um, and that was more than double those sold in 2017. Uh, another couple of fun facts. Uh, you can't, uh, whenever go out to California, um, you can't kind of drive around without seeing 20 or 30 Tesla's on the road. Uh, so California did account for about 50% or 95,000 of those. Uh, and then, uh, all this data's provided by one of the data trackers in the vehicle space called IHS Markit. They took this data and they projected it forward and they're showing over 350,000 new electric vehicles will be sold in the US in 2020. Scot: [24:14] Uh, and then, um, that's 2%, but then they do show it getting to 7%, which is kind of actually where, uh, we s we talked about China around the same timeframe, uh, by 2025. So, so just to recap, by 2025, uh, the pundits are projecting that we'll get to seven to 10% of new cars will be electric in both us and China. Now the, uh, the most exciting area of Vehicle 2.0, that, that you, you find the most news is, uh, autonomy. Uh, and this was a really big week for autonomy. So, uh, Monday Tesla had a full day, um, uh, kind of call it autonomy day where they talked about all the work that's going on in autonomy. And if you're remotely interested in this topic, I I strongly recommend watching it. Um, Elon Musk was there for most of it. He had his top engineers talking about a lot of the topics we talk about on this show. Scot: [25:08] If you don't have time. Some of the highlights for me, um, there's this really interesting debate and we've talked about it on the show before, but Tesla went really deep on their, their religion around this one. Uh, and it's the whole, you know, cameras versus Lidar. Um, so the current Tesla implementation, uh, uses four to six cameras. Uh, and their argument is that, you know, humans have two eyes, which are essentially cameras and they're able to plot a three d world without having to see use radar. Um, and then they talk about a lot of the negatives of radar, uh, which is the radar used for autonomy is lidar. Um, so that was really interesting. And then of course the, the Lidar folks came out and kind of said, you know, no, here's why you're wrong. So it's really interesting. It's going to be kind of a race to see who wins this. Scot: [25:54] And to me it's the most fascinating part of autonomy right now. His camera versus Lidar and who's going to, will there be a winner? Will they both coexist in this? Could be really interesting to watch that. Um, they spent a lot of time talking about, you know, how do you get this to a five nines reliability because we're dealing with humans and safety. Um, and one of the, one of the things they throw out there is based on their data, they believe their autopilot, which is their level to a implementation is seven times safer than human drivers. Um, so when they, you know, they're able to look at the data because Tesla has so much data, it's pretty fascinating. And they said that, uh, you know, I'm sure they're looking at crashes, incidents that, uh, you know, you're seven times safer using the just where they are today versus a human driver. Scot: [26:41] Um, when you, another statement made, and I haven't seen this refuted, is that when you look at all the autonomous vehicle data out there being generated, they have over 90% of it because they have such a large fleet compared to a lot of the smaller trials from the way Mo's and the cruises and the other other folks out there tackling this Uber. Um, so, so that's interesting. And then, you know, their, their argument is because these neural nets and machine learning systems are datadriven, whoever gets the most data of kind of gets to five nines first. So it's gonna be interesting to see if, if that, that bears out as well. Another thing they announced is by next year, and this is a, an Zealand thing, so you always have to take this with a grain of salt. He's usually off, usually nails these things, uh, in the prediction. Scot: [27:25] But the timing is usually off. So he said by next year they, they could in theory have, you know, uh, thousands of Robo taxis out there. Um, now one of the interesting metrics there is when they look at this Robo taxi, so a full autonomous taxi and their vision is as a Tesla owner, you can kind of check your car in and out of this fleet. Uh, and then there'll be a consumer APP for, for summoning a Robo Tesla. Um, the interesting stat is if you look at a human driven mile, so that's either you driving your car or ride share like an Uber, Lyft, you're looking at a total cost of ownership between two and $3 per mile, and they're projecting that the Tesla Robo taxis will get as low as 18 cents per mile. Um, so then when you, when you start to get that low, it does really start to change the car ownership model. Scot: [28:12] Um, you know, today you can certainly do enough nef if you do enough ride sharing your unit up upside down pretty quickly. But imagine if that was only 18 cents a mile. That really kind of is pretty compelling. Um, another stat he put out there as if you are a Tesla owner, you could make up to 30,000 a year just by putting your car into the, the Robo taxi fleet. Um, and then, so that was all really interesting around autonomy at the macro level. And then they went super micro, uh, and they announced that they have abandoned, uh, commercially available chipsets and they've developed their own custom chip, uh, for, for autonomy. Um, and you know, a lot of lot of, uh, excitement around this saying it's by far the, they're way ahead of everybody. They even started talking about the next generation is going to be three times better. Scot: [29:02] Um, and you know, because they're relying on vision, there's a lot of compute this having to happen in the vehicle to, to essentially do what the human brain is doing of creating a three d world from, from looking at images and comparing them. So they've moved a lot of that into hardware with this advanced chipsets. So that's, if you're really Super Geeky, um, there's tons of data out there and some really good articles. Uh, we'll link to some of the highlights in the show notes. Also in autonomy. One of the big players is General Motors and they have a division called cruise. Um, and they, uh, made some announcements on the 20th of April, uh, about, uh, some interesting things there. So first of all, they announced a partnership with Google. Um, and this is where, uh, one of the really interesting things with these autonomy companies is, uh, how they run the simulations. Scot: [29:49] So, uh, they talked about, uh, you know, the, they're up 25 x in simulation miles from, from the same time a year ago. Uh, and they've created a there in the world of video gaming. There's this engine called unreal that a lot of the video games are built on. So they actually create a real world version of the world in unreal, um, that they're driving these vehicles through based on all that lidar data. And they internally call it the matrix. So, so movie fans will, will enjoy that reference there. Um, so, so that was interesting. Um, and then all of these guys are really kind of starting to share data around, um, you know, how, how is their autonomous fleet working? Um, so one of the things that's interesting is, uh, they throw a little shade and talked about how they have 0.19 disengagements per thousand miles. Uh, and that's better than most of the other folks out there. Scot: [30:42] Um, uh, Waymo is a little bit better at 0.09. So what's happening is all these folks are running these simulations and trying to predict, you know, get, get better and better so that humans don't have to get involved in the autonomous driving today. Um, Tesla back over to Tesla, Tesla talked to, they had some really cool demos of what they call shadow mood. So they can, you know, they can actually, um, on a vehicle, they can put, uh, two versions of the software, the real mood and a shadow mode, and they can watch and say, all right, if we, we, we've seen this, this ab problem out there, let's say, um, when they talked about as, as people drifting into your lane. So they can actually, uh, you know, have a shadow version of the software on out on the fleet and watch for drifts and predict, you know, simulate in the vehicle what would have happened with both the real version. Scot: [31:36] Well they know what happened with the real version and then the shadow version and then learn from that without actually having to have the fleet have, you know, maybe more risky software. So it's really interesting things. Uh, when this, when, when, when your vehicle is largely software, uh, it kind of is mind blowing that you can be running effectively, you know, that, you know, who says they couldn't rent 10 versions of the simulation? They're on the vehicle. And it is interesting to think about all these simulated miles that are being driven as we speak. Um, it's a really great time to be an autonomy because, uh, we have the lift a IPO is done and now Uber is working on their IPO. So part of that process is you reveal this S-1, which is a document about everything that your company has been working on. Scot: [32:20] Uh, one of the more intriguing areas of the Uber S-1 was around their autonomous vehicle efforts and they also have a flying car effort. Um, so, uh, they're spending over 500 million a year in r and D in these kinds of technology programs, uh, for the future of vehicles. Uh, that's obviously pretty hefty. Um, and to, uh, a lot of folks when they first read this one, we're really concerned about that. Um, so, so kind of on the heels of that S-1 being revealed, Uber announced that they are going to effectively get a independent funding for that, that division. Um, it's not clear to me if it's an a complete spin off or what, uh, I think Uber will still large own, own kind of like 15 to 20% of it, but it's largely going to be funded by outside vendors, not the public markets, the investors. Scot: [33:09] There are Toyota, Denso, which is a parts maker, and the Softbank Fund that we've talked about already, and that Avi Division was given a $7 billion valuation through that investment. So, um, so Uber a is working with, you know, public and private funding to find the right balance of investment in, in these future vehicles. Um, the last thing on autonomy, uh, and this was a quick one. Uh, you know, they're the, the other big player is Google's alphabet division, which is called Waymo. Um, they announced a, a fleet of factory in Detroit. So, uh, they are going to, uh, create 400 jobs in Detroit over the next couple of years. And what the way Waymo works is they're not actually building their own vehicle. They're retrofitting existing vehicles. Um, so part of the plan, uh, here is by 2020, 20, 22, excuse me, they're going to have 62,000 Pacificas in 20,000 Jaguars outfitted with their self driving lidar based autonomy system, uh, and that'll get them cranked up to over a million trips per day. Scot: [34:18] Um, so it's going to be so, so we're, we're seeing all these efforts to really ramp up billions of dollars being invested in autonomy, uh, lidar versus cameras. So it's a really exciting time to be following this race out there. And we will continue to report, uh, what's going on and will continue to have guests on the show to help shed light on all these different topics and, uh, these kind of different technologies and, and thinking about who is going to win and who's going to lose or will we have multiple winners. And with that, we're out of time and we appreciate you listening. If you enjoyed today's show, be sure to head over to your favorite podcast listening app, uh, and give us five stars.

Martine is a community advocate, speaker, writer and Huffington Post blogger on her coming of age story as an undocumented immigrant orphan in America. An incredible journey of going from a seven-year battle as an undocumented immigrant without a family, to a senior level executive with an advanced degree, a father and U.S. citizenship is the inspiration behind the mission to share her story. Martine’s intention is to highlight the absurdity of current immigration policy that marginalizes undocumented immigrants, and to demystify and challenge stereotypes about what a strong woman looks like, who the illegal immigrant is, what is means to be American and the African experience. Furthermore, she also seeks to share her universal message-- regardless of our inherent differences, we are all connected by a shared human experience. Martine was a featured speaker on immigration reform at various forums and rallies, such as Senator McCain’s Town Hall Rally on Immigration in New York City in February 2006. Her story has also appeared in editorials in newspapers, and publications such as USA Today, Metro New York and The New York Sun. On May 18, 2007, Martine was a panelist and speaker to the U.S. House of Representative’s Judiciary Subcommittee’s hearing on Immigration Reform, where she shared her story and spoke on behalf of the DREAM Act. Martine was the keynote speaker at the convocation ceremony at her alma mater, St. Anne’s-Belfield School, which included noteworthy attendees such as John Grisham. She is the sole proprietor of Martine Kalaw Enterprises, LLC which is a holding company that promotes Martine’s motivational speaking, books, and consulting work.

She designs customized on-boarding/training solutions and ongoing professional development courses in an effort to provide a blended learning approach that will align with individual, departmental and organizational goals. Martine received a Bachelor of Arts from Hamilton College in 2003, where she majored in World Politics. In 2004 she was awarded a Master of Public Administration with a Certificate of Legal Studies at the Maxwell School at Syracuse University. Her area of focus in her graduate studies was immigration law. Martine was born in Zambia, Africa, but lived in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) until the age 4, when she immigrated to the United States. Since her recent journey to Zambia in November 2014, she is proud to call both the U.S. and her native Africa ‘home’.
