It's podcast time again. This week, we talk with Alex Roy, principal at Johnson and Roy Advisors, a company that provides strategy for companies in the AI, robotics, and transportation space, about why autonomous cars aren't so scary.


Roy, who you might remember as a former TTAC contributor, walks us through it all. Meanwhile, current TTAC contributor Matthew Guy stops by to talk jump starters and NASCAR at Dover.

As always, you can find our podcast at the following places: Spotify, Apple, Google, Amazon, and iHeart Radio. As well as here.

Thanks for listening!

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

    No thanks. You'll never convince me that anybody needs this.

      How is this different from today? So long as AV is better than the average driver, it's a win.

    Just don't be the whistleblower who reports on the falsification of safety data. That's a deadly profession.
