Hello everyone. Welcome to Shift, the podcast about mobility. My name is Pete Bigelow. I'm your host and joining me today in the studio is Leslie Allen,

the Shift Mobility Editor. How are you today Leslie? I am doing great and I hope you and everyone else out there had a great 4th of July weekend.

Yes, welcome back everybody. Hopefully you'll enjoy this new podcast episode as you return to work today.

So Leslie, both of us were recently at two episode as you returned to work today.

So Leslie, both of us were recently at two conferences that both had a lot to do with everything

going on in the realm of mobility.

I was down in Washington, D.C. at the intelligent transportation society of America conference

where I spoke to Shaylin Bat, the president and CEO of that organization.

And while you were in Montreal, what were you up to and who did you speak with?

Well I spoke with a gentleman with Michelin, he's sort of Michelin's tech guru, his name is

Cyril Rogier and I'm looking forward to bringing you that conversation a little later on in the show.

All right, look forward to that.

First, we'll hear from Shaylin Bat.

For those who don't know ITS America, it's an organization that advances research and deployment of

transportation technology so we talked a lot about V2X we talked about the role of

data and the lot of the autonomous vehicle deployments that are coming.

So without further ado, we will hear my conversation with Shaan

and then we'll be back to hear from you in Montreal, Leslie.

Sounds good. Welcome to the podcast, Aylen. Thanks, it's great to be here.

We were down recently at the ITS America annual meeting in Washington, D.C.
