What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This podcast is perfect for driving! All three hosts are incredibly smart and the guests can teach us all a lot about current autonomous driving systems. From automated buses to self-driving scooters, of course T*sla is an unavoidable topic. I listen often and other companies get the magnifying glass, as well. People who own several of the vehicles are talking here! If you plan on driving in the future and like tech operations, give it a listen. Thanks to the hosts and producers.

As a fellow podcaster, I know how hard it is to produce a consistent, informative and interesting podcast and Alex, Kirsten and Ed definitely deliver! I am not a huge fan of autonomous discussion tbh but I like how they weave other relevant topics like Uber and Bird into the discussion and bring on a variety of interesting guests. My favorite episode so far was with David Estrada of Bird - keep up the good work guys and Kirsten :)

Harry Campbell · Sep 2018

I've been listening to the autonocast for years. It's the best central place for keeping up with the autonomy world and all kinds of niches therewithin. Highly informed and insightful guests. Unfortunately, the Elon cult doesn't like this, since it shows how poorly prepared Tesla is for an autonomous future.
