Starsky Robotics: the driver-friendly, driverless truck startup
Hear how Stefan Seltz-Axmacher came up with this unique idea and how it almost never came to be. Almost.
Stefan could not believe that no one else was doing this. Driverless was everywhere, sure. But not driverless trucking. And not driverless trucking the way he envisioned it. He tried through countless meetings and endless research to poke holes in his own idea, but he couldn’t.
But an idea is hardly enough. He needed the talent and resources to bring his idea to life. And after his cofounder (who happened to be his friend and roommate) left the company, he had no CTO and considerably less credibility. That’s kind of a big deal when you’re creating a one-of-a-kind driverless startup…
Ever-resourceful, though, he employed some creative tactics to search for a qualified CTO, and he eventually found one in Kartik Tiwari. Now he and his team have brought Starsky Robotics out of stealth mode, and we are excited to share our interview with Stefan on Dynamo Discussions.
