Episode 9 - Autonomous Vehicles + Frank White III

May 18, 2018


It's Episode 9! We kick it off with Feedback/Updates (F/U) where we bring our listeners' feedback front and center—and all the listeners agree that Aaron has the best radio voice and Kim still can't talk loud enough.




Today's episode is focused on autonomous vehicles (AV)—the technology that makes it work, major players, and current versus future capabilities. And as we love to do, this takes us into 'Takes and Debates' (aka T's & D's) about the impacts/disruptions that AV technology represents, everything from the Bill of Rights to organ donors .... we cover it all!




We are #blessed to have Frank White III from the KCATA in studio to discuss his (non-transit) background prior to joining the KCATA, why he is passionate about public transport, and what the AV proliferation will mean to the transit sector.




Be sure to check out what Frank is up to on his social feeds (Twitter: @FrankWhiteIII or LinkedIn: 'Frank White, III'). Not to brag, but Frank gives all our CoB listeners a 10 second way to save $$ on your next public transit ride during the interview—take a listen!




We close out Episode 9 with Chapter 3 of Elon's Book Club, our longest running segment yet (humble brag), where we discuss our takes on Chapter 3 of the Elon Musk biography. Apologies to Elon, but he's got some work to do on his pick-up lines/dating strategies!
