While everyone’s looking at robotaxis on sunny boulevards, Forterra is busy where the asphalt ends. 🌲🪖

Forget predictable lane lines. We’re talking about "GPS-denied," high-consequence environments where "edge cases" aren't the exception—they’re the entire job description.

From Defense to Commercial Heavy Logistics, Forterra is building autonomous systems for worlds where roads don't even exist and failure isn't an option.

Joining me on this special is Andy Sussman, who leads Commercial Growth at Forterra. Andy’s career spans the trifecta of Trucking, Logistics, and Mapping (he even owns and sells ski resort maps—talk about navigating tough terrain!). ⛷️🗺️

He is exactly the person to explain why the future of autonomous fleets isn't just on our streets, but in the rugged frontiers where the GPS goes dark.
