  • How Autonomous Vehicles Handle Extreme Weather

    How Autonomous Vehicles Handle Extreme Weather
    2026/06/07
    Lucas and Luna explore the biggest unsolved challenge for self-driving cars: navigating snow, fog, and torrential rain. They examine why current sensor suites degrade in low visibility, how lidar manufacturers are pushing to 1550 nanometer wavelengths, and what it means for deployment timelines. With Rivian down 3.5 percent and GM up just 0.5 percent in a tough week, the hosts connect weather resilience to market performance. They cite a 2025 study by the University of Michigan showing autonomous vehicle accident rates spike 40 percent in adverse weather versus clear conditions. The conversation covers real-world testing in Minneapolis and Ann Arbor, and why companies like Waymo and Aurora are investing in self-cleaning sensor housings and thermal management. Plus, a look at how simulation training is helping AVs cope with rare weather events. If you are building or investing in autonomous tech, this is the bottleneck nobody is talking about enough. #AutonomousVehicles #SelfDrivingCars #Lidar #ExtremeWeather #SensorTechnology #Rivian #GM #Waymo #Aurora #UniversityOfMichigan #Minnesota #AnnArbor #1550Nanometer #AutonomousTrucks #WeatherResilience #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #BusinessAndTechnology Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • Who Pays When an Autonomous Vehicle Crashes

    Who Pays When an Autonomous Vehicle Crashes
    2026/06/07
    A crash involving a driverless taxi in downtown Phoenix has no human at fault, so who pays? Lucas and Luna unpack the emerging liability framework for autonomous vehicles, from the handful of real-world cases that have reached settlements to a 2025 California ruling that set a precedent for manufacturer liability. They discuss how insurance companies are building models around sensor data, why current state-level regulations create a patchwork of fault definitions, and what a federal bill quietly moving through Congress could mean for the industry. The hosts also connect the liability question to recent market moves, noting that some insurers with heavy autonomous exposure have seen their stocks diverge, while others are raising premiums on human-driven cars to subsidize the uncertainty. It is not a topic that gets as much attention as the technology itself, but it may shape how fast autonomous fleets scale more than any sensor breakthrough. #AutonomousVehicles #SelfDrivingCars #Liability #Insurance #Waymo #Cruise #Tesla #Lidar #AutonomousVehicleAccident #ProductLiability #Regulation #AVLaw #Business #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Podcast #Finance Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • The Autonomous Vehicle Supply Chain Crunch You Haven't Heard About

    The Autonomous Vehicle Supply Chain Crunch You Haven't Heard About
    2026/06/06
    Episode 35 of Autonomous Vehicles Business digs into a bottleneck few are talking about: the specialized semiconductors and rare-earth magnets needed to scale self-driving fleets. Lucas and Luna examine how a single fab fire in Taiwan and a cobalt supply squeeze in the DRC are delaying deployments for Waymo, Cruise, and Tesla. They connect the dots between the recent 6% drop in Tesla shares, the 23% slide in Lucid, and the real-world production constraints that have little to do with demand. With commentary on how automakers like GM and Ford are pivoting to in-house chip design and alternative magnet chemistries, this episode explains why the autonomous vehicle revolution depends as much on mining permits and wafer starts as on software miles. A must-listen for anyone tracking AV timelines or investing in the ecosystem. #AutonomousVehicles #SupplyChainCrisis #Semiconductors #RareEarthMagnets #Waymo #Cruise #Tesla #LucidMotors #Rivian #GM #Ford #Cobalt #DRC #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #BusinessAndTechnology #AutonomousTrucks #Manufacturing Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • Why Autonomous Trucks Are Stuck on Rural Routes

    Why Autonomous Trucks Are Stuck on Rural Routes
    2026/06/06
    Episode 34 of Autonomous Vehicles Business investigates a counterintuitive bottleneck in the self-driving truck industry: rural highways. While cities grab headlines, the long-haul autonomous trucking giants are discovering that the most challenging technical problems lie on two-lane roads without shoulders, inconsistent lane markings, and unpredictable wildlife crossings. Hosts Lucas and Luna break down why companies like TuSimple, Aurora, and Waymo Via have been quietly shifting their test routes from Interstate-10 corridors to secondary highways in Texas and the American West. They examine a new report showing that over 60% of autonomous truck disengagements in Q1 2026 occurred on rural stretches, and what that means for the promised 2027 commercial rollout timeline. The episode also touches on how this rural road challenge is creating a surprising market for high-definition mapping startups and specialty sensor configurations tailored for low-infrastructure environments. #AutonomousTrucks #RuralRoutes #SelfDrivingTrucks #TuSimple #AuroraInnovation #WaymoVia #HDMapping #TruckingIndustry #AutonomousVehicles #BusinessAndTechnology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #AutonomousVehicleBusiness #LucasAndLuna #SupplyChain #Transportation #Logistics #SensorTech Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • The Autonomous Vehicle Cold Storage Problem

    The Autonomous Vehicle Cold Storage Problem
    2026/06/05
    Autonomous vehicle testing is expanding rapidly, but one overlooked bottleneck threatens deployment timelines: the lack of climate-controlled storage for fleets. Lucas and Luna explore how cold weather and extreme heat expose sensor limitations, why companies are investing millions in heated and cooled garages, and what this means for the rollout of robotaxis in 2026. With 5-day stock drops across the sector — Tesla down 6%, Rivian down 3.5%, Lucid down 23% — the hosts connect infrastructure gaps to market jitters. They also highlight a startup building modular 'AV garages' that could solve the problem. A concrete look at the unglamorous but critical logistics behind self-driving vehicles. #AutonomousVehicles #SelfDrivingCars #Robotaxis #SensorTechnology #Lidar #ColdWeatherTesting #AVInfrastructure #FleetManagement #ElectricVehicles #Tesla #Waymo #Cruise #Business #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Startup #Logistics Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
