This week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk discuss Waymo's unforced error with the Zeekr RT robotaxi, Uber's future with autonomous vehicles and the winners and losers from the latest round of tariffs. Waymo's Zeekr RT robotaxi has seen its price double due to a 100% tariff on Chinese-made vehicles, igniting a debate over whether Waymo made an unforced error with their Zeekr partnership. Could tariffs either accelerate a new OEM partnership for Waymo or see them abandon it all together?Meanwhile, Uber's autonomy ambitions are accelerating and gaining momentum globally. This week, Uber announced a partnership with WeRide and the Dubai Road and Transport Authority to deploy robotaxis in Dubai. Could Uber's largest autonomy market end up being outside the U.S.?

In this episode of the Trucking for Millennials podcast, I had the pleasure of hosting Brandon Wiseman, an expert in transportation law and compliance. Brandon shared his insights from the Truck Safe Live podcast and discussed key regulatory trends in the trucking industry. We covered a range of important topics including highway safety, personal conveyance, the truck parking crisis, tort law reform, ELDs, and speed limiters. We kicked off the episode by reflecting on the recent election results and their potential impact on the trucking industry. With Donald Trump winning the presidency and the Republicans holding the House and Senate, we speculated on possible regulatory changes and what they could mean for logistics businesses. Brandon provided a deep dive into the importance of staying compliant with DOT safety regulations, especially for new motor carriers. He emphasized the severe consequences of non-compliance, including hefty fines and potential shutdowns. We also discussed the critical issue of highway accident exposure and the rising trend of nuclear verdicts against trucking companies. One of the most engaging parts of our conversation was about personal conveyance, a gray area in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations. Brandon explained the complexities and the potential for misuse, advising fleets to either turn off the option or implement strict controls. We also touched on the truck parking shortage, a significant issue for drivers that impacts their ability to comply with hours of service regulations. Brandon highlighted the efforts being made to address this problem, including grant money awarded to states by the USDOT. Finally, we looked ahead to the new administration and what it might mean for trucking regulations. Brandon shared his thoughts on the potential for fewer new regulations and a focus on reviewing existing ones, drawing parallels to the previous Trump administration's approach. Overall, this episode was packed with valuable insights for anyone in the trucking industry, from drivers to fleet managers. Brandon's expertise provided a comprehensive look at the current regulatory landscape and what we might expect in the near future.
