Over the last 90 days, @Aurora_Inno, @KodiakRobotics, @BotAutoAV, @Waabi_AI and @Gatik_AI have been operating autonomous trucks in Texas. @Einrideofficial has not, why? @RyanJoyceVoice, CEO & Co-Founder of @GenLogs shares what the camera-verified road data reveals about where and how often autonomous trucks actually run, not what the press releases say.

He used to track terrorists, but now he tracks trucks. @RyanJoyceVoice, Co-Founder and CEO of @GenLogs, joined @gbrulte to break down how a nationwide camera network became the ground truth layer for the freight economy.

.@Figure_robot has officially crossed the commercial Rubicon that separates R&D-focused humanoid startups from revenue-generating enterprise vendors. @gbrulte and @RobGsix explain why on this week's edition of Autonomy Signals presented by @KPMG.

A nice little show this week on Autonomy Signals. We head to the Mall with @Figure_robot, the car dealership with @wayve_ai, and end it with some good eats delivered by @StarshipRobots! We were going to Bed, Bath and Beyond too, but I don’t if we’ll have time!

Michael Brandt, Co-Founder and CEO, @RCMowersUSA joined @gbrulte on The Road to Autonomy podcast to discuss autonomous mowers and how they unlock scale for an industry that is labor constrained. Episode Chapters 00:00 @AUTNMYAI 00:36 Founding of RC Mowers 05:56 Landscape Labor Crisis 09:21 Autonomous Mower Stack 11:54 Deploying Autonomous Mowers 20:46 Autonomous Mowing at Airports 25:47 Autonomous Mowing 32:11 Private Equity Landscape Industry Roll Up 38:12 Autonomy-First Landscape Company 46:48 American Manufacturing in Green Bay 50:54 The Future of RC Mowers

House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman @RepSamGraves and Ranking Member Representative @RepRickLarsen released the text of the BUILD America 250 Act, a bipartisan five-year surface transportation reauthorization bill that includes the first-ever federal framework for autonomous trucks. If passed and signed into law in its current form, the bill would provide regulatory preemption for autonomous trucking in the United States and authorize nearly $30 million annually through 2031 for workforce development grants. @RobGsix explains why the bill is considered must-pass legislation, and what the workforce development authorization signals about how the federal government intends to manage the transition to autonomous trucking.

This week on Autonomy Signals, @gbrulte and @RobGsix discuss the BUILD America 250 Act introduced by @RepSamGraves and @RepRickLarsen that includes the first-ever federal framework for autonomous trucks, @XPENG_Global's first mass-produced robotaxi, and the @CAS__Science / @ESA SMILE mission. Episode Chapters 00:00 @AUTNMYAI 1:32 Signal 1: BUILD America 250 Act 37:39 Signal 2: XPENG Pure Vision Robotaxi 58:51 Signal 3: ESA/China SMILE Mission Reaches Orbit $XPEV

Xpeng says anything Tesla can do I can do better. China and Europe work together to understand space weather and how it affects AVs (and leave the US on the outside looking up) Congress gets moving - no really!
