Part One:
On the website called podcastalley.com, I found three interesting podcasts that I listened to. The first one is about the growing technology of Autonomous Vehicles by Geek News Central. Among various tech news stories related to Google, Lyft, and more, they covered information about a new company in Silicon Valley that has developed an autonomous bulldozer.
I chose this podcast because I think that the industry of autonomy, particularly that of autonomous vehicles, is probably going to be one of the most important and ground-breaking technological developments of our time, similar to the development of the car in the early 1900s.
According to this podcast, this new bulldozer comes from a company out of the San Francisco Bay Area, called Build Robotics. Their autonomous bulldozers utilize various radar technologies to visualize their surrounding terrains. They are also much quieter than traditional construction equipment, so that paired with the fact that they can operate autonomously means that a job can be completed in a fraction of the time that it would take a human operator to do, because it can work quietly non-stop 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, which would save the construction company time and money.
