About this episode
Brett Suma discusses Bot Auto's strategy for achieving one billion autonomous miles in four years.
Brett Suma , President and COO of Bot Auto , joined Grayson Brulte on The Road to Autonomy podcast to discuss Bot Auto’s playbook for autonomously driving one billion autonomous miles in four years.
