#29 - Richard Steiner | Gatik - Automating the Middle Mile

Richard Steiner is Head of Policy and Communications at Gatik. Gatik is developing autonomous vehicles for B2B short-haul logistics with the mission of delivering goods safely and efficiently using autonomous vehicles. Gatik has an existing partnership with Walmart and has recently announced a partnership with Canada’s largest retailer, Loblaw. As you’ll hear, Gatik is focused on the “middle mile,” as opposed to the more popular long haul truck or last-mile applications. During this episode, you’ll hear why this was selected as the focus, and what this focus has meant for the way Gatik develops and implements their solution.
