Hello and welcome to the fourth episode of the Guidehouse Insights’ Plugged In Podcast! On this podcast we dive in on a range of energy industry topics, and this week it is autonomous vehicles.

This month we spoke to Sam Abuelsamid about his report (with coauthor Jake Foose) titled, “Light Duty Automated Vehicles: Global Consumer and Commercial Market Forecasts," along with Sam's “Guidehouse Insights Leaderboard Automated Driving Systems.”

Sam was trained as a mechanical engineer and has two decades of experience as a product development engineer in the automotive industry prior to joining Guidehouse, He regularly contributes to publications including Forbes and Automotive Engineering.
This episode starts out with a few definitions: What is a light duty automated vehicle (LDAV)? What are all these levels? What is the Level 4 discussed in this report specifically? Then we get into how this market developed, who the market leaders are, what is going on in different parts of the world, and what the drivers and barriers are going forward. Sam is incredibly knowledgeable, and I learned a lot from this conversation. I hope you will too!
