The MOVEmnt Podcast

EP 3: Jeremy Bird

In Episode 3 of The MOVEmnt Podcast, we sit down with Lyft’s EVP of Global Growth, Jeremy Bird, to explore his vision for a hybrid autonomous network. As autonomy ramps up in the UK and Europe welcomes its first commercial robotaxi deployment in Croatia, our conversation couldn’t come at a more critical time in the industry.   In our fascinating discussion we dive deep on some of the vital, and often divisive questions, surrounding autonomous mobility, unpacking uncertainties surrounding job security and the realities of automation. Jeremy outlines his vision of a customer-obsessed approach that connects riders easily and seamlessly with opportunity, while continuing to centre and evolve the driver experience.  Jeremy looks back on his long and storied career, including his time as Chief Field Director for Barack Obama’s 2012 presidential campaign, and how his background in community organising and advocacy continues to shape his leadership at Lyft today.  For the latest articles and insights on all things auto tech, visit ⁠MOVEmnt.net. ⁠ [https://movemnt.net/] Or drop us a follow on LinkedIn at @MOVE: Mobility Re-Imagined.
