#27 – Çetin Meriçli | Locomation – Automated Driving for Semi-Trucks

Çetin Meriçli is CEO and Co-founder of Locomation, which is a Pittsburgh-based startup with the goal of making trucking safer and transportation more efficient through automated driving technology. They’re already showcasing the benefit of the first manifestation of this technology, their Autonomous Relay Convoy (ARC), and Locomation has a longer term vision of progressing this into full-self driving technology. We spent much of this conversation focused on Locomation’s approach, and the challenges associated with automating semi-trucks. https://locomation.ai/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/locomation/ https://twitter.com/LocomationAI https://twitter.com/cmericli https://www.linkedin.com/in/cetinmericli/
