Episode notes

My next guest is truly moving the needle beyond the “experiment” phase of self-driving cars, focusing instead on providing a luxury-grade user experience that treats the passenger as an esteemed guest rather than a Rider.

Shalin James Anto is the Founder and CEO of Pliyt, a revolutionary design for the car of the future.

With a background deep in Safety and Interior Design of vehicles including stints at Tesla, Shalin is now working on ensuring the rideshare of the future feels like First Class travel -
