  • Love the podcast

    Grayson does a great job interviewing guests with unique perspectives on the advancement of mobility. The episode with Peter Weiss on the intersection between autonomous vehicles and medical technology advancements was interesting. I enjoyed the discussion bout how much the current pandemic has advanced medical artificial intelligence. Great podcast.

  • All great interviews by Grayson Brulte but...

    ...the interview with Deepmap's Mark Wheeler stood out to me and is an awesome episode. I was aware of DeepMap, Inc. from a macro-view but Grayson Brulte's conversation with Mark Wheeler not only gives an in-depth picture of the company but Mark's journey from his Apple 2+ and all his experience along the way. Thank you both for a great one!

    Keep them coming SAE & Grayson, really enjoying listening and learning!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

347. When AI is driving, who’s responsible?
Q: Could a consumer or insurer force data release or data retention practices, and how might this influence liability?
Insurers can leverage contractual powers to demand data; retain-and-disclose decisions are shaped by contracts, standards, and the potential need to reveal data in litigation, which creates tension between privacy, cybersecurity, and the needs of investigation and liability determination.
347. When AI is driving, who’s responsible?
Q: What are the challenges around reconstructing accidents with AI-driven vehicles?
Reconstruction now may require sensors data, camera and LiDAR data, and a rigorous examination of the vehicle's decision-making process, including why certain actions were taken, which complicates traditional accident analysis and may require expert testimony to explain AI thinking to a jury.
347. When AI is driving, who’s responsible?
Q: How is the liability determined of who's liable when automated driving systems are involved? Is it the software developer, the OEM, or the insurance?
The guest explains that liability historically sits along the chain of who owned or manufactured the vehicle, but as software and AI become central, fault can extend to multiple parties including OEMs, suppliers, and the developers of the AI, with data access and disclosure playing a critical role in determining who is responsible.
346. Is Megawatt Charging the Missing Link to EV Scalability?
Q: What makes SAE J3271 different from IEC and ISO standards, and why is it important for Megawatt Charging?
J3271 is presented as a holistic, one-stop standard that covers interconnection, power conversion, and battery terminal interfaces, whereas other standards are fragmented into many subsections for different components. This cohesion reduces compatibility gaps and streamlines implementation for high-power charging.
344. How Aerospace Safety Standards Enable the Future of Flight
Q: How is AI being considered in safety-critical aerospace systems today?
AI is still in early stages for safety-critical development; it cannot be fully qualified due to non-determinism, so tools and human-guided development assurance are used to identify, mitigate, and validate potential AI-induced errors while keeping a human in the loop.
