Episode 88: A Conversation about Electric Vehicles with Indium's Brian O'Leary

One of my favorite subjects is the electrification of automobiles, not just electric cars, which are with us now, but completely autonomous vehicles. When I was a kid in the 1960's, we were promised flying cars by the year 2000. While that goal was not met, the real prospect of autonomous vehicles in our lifetime is extremely exciting, terrifying, and realistic. Brian and I discuss the future of the automobile industry and what's required for the electronics industry and the world.Brian may be reached here:Brian O'LearyGlobal Accounts Manager, Global Head e-Mobility & InfrastructureIndiumEmail: boleary@indium.comWebsite: https://www.indium.com
