We're revisiting a conversation we had withLarry Burns about his work as an educator and consultant in the world of autonomous vehicles. He is a retired senior vice president of research and development, and strategic planning atGeneral Motors. Since retiring in 2009, he has consulted for Google’s self-driving car project calledWaymo, and he's author of“Autonomy: The Quest to Build the Driverless Car - And How It Will Reshape Our World.”
