Don Burnette On Kodiak. Final week, TechCrunch+ (paywall)… | by David Silver | Self-Driving Automobiles | Jul, 2022

Final week, TechCrunch+ (paywall) interviewed Kodiak CEO Don Burnette. Months in the past, after I was deciding whether or not to I be part of Kodiak, I spent an hour and a half on the telephone with Don. We went over a number of the identical questions that wound up on this interview. Maybe I used to be good apply 🙂

“We’re concentrating on scaling this [the driver-as-a-service model] in 2025.”

“Final month, we demonstrated how simple it’s to interchange one in all our sensor pods within the area by a non-AV skilled technician…We predict that’s a singular providing that other people should not taking note of, and I believe you’re going to see a shift towards our designs and applied sciences within the subsequent couple of years.”
