1. I Count Progress in Lives Saved - Mark R. Rosekind, Chief Safety Innovation Officer, Zoox

Zoox is driving autonomously in ways that no one else has shown. The company’s approach makes Chief Safety Innovation Officer Mark R. Rosekind, Ph.D, the perfect inaugural guest for SAE Tomorrow Today. Host Grayson Brulte sits down with Mark at SAE’s Government/Industry Meeting to discuss Mark’s unique background as a scientist studying sleep at NASA and at NHTSA, and how those experiences shaped his efforts at Zoox. Grayson and Mark focus much of their conversation on Zoox’s commitment to safety, including the importance of seatbelt usage and how different testing environments impact policy. Mark also dives into a deep discussion about the powerful impact that his father’s role as a police officer played in forging Zoox’s transparent partnership with law enforcement officials and why he “always counts progress in lives saved".
