Shift: A podcast about mobility

In the fourth episode of Season 3 of "Futurismo," Automotive News' podcast on tomorrow's cars, we trace what this iconic monument to the rise, fall and subsequent resurgence of the Motor City means for a company that needs to shift the conversation when it comes to its autonomous vehicle efforts.

In the third episode of Season 3 of "Futurismo," the Shift team profiles the beginning of the autonomous revolution. Host Shiraz Ahmed takes a ride in a self-driving pilot in Las Vegas with Glen De Vos, chief technology officer at Aptiv, the technology supplier, and discusses what the path ahead for autonomous cars looks like. In the second half of the episode, Shift magazine editor Sharon Silke Carty chats with Staff Reporter Mike Wayland about his story on the competition between Waymo and General Motors for dominance in the robotaxi race.

In our second episode of Season 3, "Who's Afraid of AI?" we explore this technology that's affecting nearly every aspect of the auto industry and beyond. Host Shiraz Ahmed interviews Maya Pindeus, the 27-year-old CEO of Humanizing Autonomy, an AI startup focused on human-machine interactions with autonomous cars. Pindeus met a Daimler executive at Ars Electronica, a conference that focuses on the nexus of arts and technology, in Austria, and later began collaborating on a project.

In the debut episode of Season 3 of "Futurismo," "Treasure Map," the Shift team travels to Austin for South by Southwest, the eclectic arts and technology festival, to find out how the conversation around the future of transportation is bigger than just carmakers.
