#304 - Bibhrajit Halder - Founder & CEO, SafeAI

“In the mining and construction industry, there are 1200 vehicles running fully autonomously 24x7 for the last 7 years. They have moved 6-7 billion tonnes of material without a single fatal accident. This technology is far more advanced operationally in the real world than is known.”

Have you ever thought about how autonomy came to be? What were the origins of the idea of autonomous vehicles? Have you ever wondered what is next for autonomy, and how will this space evolve in the future?

Well, wonder no more. On this episode of the AI in Automotive Podcast, I am delighted to host an OG member of the autonomy gang, whose connection with autonomous driving goes way back to the heady days of the DARPA Grand challenge almost two decades ago. 

Bibhrajit Halder, Founder & CEO of SafeAI joins me to share how the idea of autonomy originated, how it evolved from 1.0 to 2.0, and how it might evolve in the future to 3.0 and 4.0. We also talk about the application of autonomous driving in the mining and construction industries, and how SafeAI is using AI to seriously disrupt the mining industry.

I never thought I would be discussing mine economics on this show, but we did, and it was so much fun! I hope you enjoy my chat with Bibhrajit, and if you do, why don’t you go ahead and share the AI in Automotive Podcast with a friend or colleague who carries an interest in this space.
