We're super excited to share this two part episode with Waymo, the automated vehicle company of Alphabet, a sister company of Google. Before we dive into the interview, Michael and Aaron discuss some trucking news.  They discuss how Amazon is pausing their shipping and logistics service they originally announced one year ago as they manage the Coronavirus crisis. Then they discuss a WSJ article describing how LTL carriers are being impacted and cutting costs. But the star of this episode is certainly Matt Carroll, a Waymo product manager with a ton of experience with automated vehicles.  The conversation details Waymo's approach, their technology, the timeline for driverless trucking, use cases, challenges, concerns, and much, much, more.  Be sure to subscribe to Trucking For Millennials if you haven't already because next week we'll be sharing the conversation we had with one of Waymo's truck drivers! Here's Matt's bio: Matt Carroll is a Product Manager for Trucking at Waymo, a self-driving technology company with a mission to make it safe and easy for people and things to get where they're going.  In his role, Matt is responsible for truck behavior and redundancy workstreams, as well as building out the operational model for Waymo Via (which is focused on commercial goods delivery and includes both trucking and local delivery).  Prior to Waymo, Matt worked at Peloton Technology, a truck-automation startup, where he was the first product manager in the organization and worked on wirelessly-connecting truck convoys. Matt was previously an engineering team lead for a defense contractor that designed vehicle enhancements, such as IED and mine protection. He holds a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Western Ontario and an MBA from Harvard Business School. Stat Clarification: One statistic Matt shared in this episode was related to collissions on the road. It's actually 1.3 million deaths due to traffic crashes every year on a global basis, 4k of those involving large trucks. 94% of traffic crashes in the U.S. are a result of human error or inattention.

Rob and Jason are joined by Philipp Schrader. They first discuss some post CppCon news and the LLVM 9.0 release. Then Phil talks about the work he's doing at Peleton Technology to enable the 'platooning' of trucks with software written in C++.   Phil started working in consulting primarily as a C programmer. Very quickly he found himself being tempted by the famous "object-oriented" programming language called C++. He started volunteering at a local high-school robotics program where they used C++ to make their robots competitive. Hooked on C++ he found Peloton Technology where he had the chance to learn and explore what C++ is capable of. He's still exploring :) Links CppCon 2019 Keynotes CppCon 2019 Trip Report LLVM 9.0.0 Release Sponsors Enter #cppcast in the Message field and get a month-license instead of 7-day license PVS-Studio PVS-Studio Twitter JetBrains
