Today! Apple hires a former ex-Waymo engineer for its Project Titan autonomous car project; Volvo invests in lidar maker Luminar; Enterprise and Voyage partner up for autonomous car rentals.
PS1. We learn a bit more about rideOS.
PS2. We discuss a listener’s feedback.
Apple grabs a former Waymoan
Jamie Waydo, from Waymo, has just joined Apple. Amusingly coincidental nomenclature aside, Jamie has a background that includes NASA’s JPL.
Volvo + Luminar
Luminar, a maker of lidar technology, has just partnered up with Volvo.
Enterprise + Voyage(r)
I couldn’t resist the parenthetical “r” — in what sounds like too good of a Star Trek spoof, rental car company Enterprise has partnered with autonomous taxi startup Voyage (not the Voyager).
