#301: Adam Woodworth of Wing
Incubated inside Google's X project and now deploying in the real world, Wing is an aerial drone delivery company with some interesting parallels to another of Alphabet's "other bets" the gang regularly discuses: Waymo. But, as CEO Adam Woodworth explains, Wing also provides a very different look at how one engineers automated mobility services at a system level, focused more on creating "lego pieces" than specific vehicles. He joins the show to explain Wing's strategy, the unique challenges it faces, and lessons learned along the way.

#300: The Best of Times, and The Worst of Times
For our 300th episode, the gang sorts through the highs and lows of some of the recent mobility tech news.

Meanwhile, the decade-long $10 billion Apple Car saga is officially over, taking the dream of a self-driving car with it, but Waymo's robotaxi service continues to expand proving driving automation is still very real.

Can’t beat the Autono🐈s! Should be required listening for everyone in the automotive industry.
Bias Host
Everything Tesla does is bad everything everyone else does good. The host is incredibly biased against Tesla. It seems that he is one of those pseudo-journalist who produce a whole Lotta crap that Tesla shorts will consume and I can make money that way. Pretty much the same business model of Fox News.
