Hi Pete, hi everybody, this is Leslie Allen, editor of Shift magazine,

welcome to the show.

Joining us on the podcast today is Jody Kelman,

head of Autonomous at Lift.

We'll be chatting about the new partnership between lift, Ford, and Argo AI to bring 1,000 autonomous

vehicles to six different cities in the years ahead. Leslie, a really interesting work they're doing and you know I really enjoyed

our conversation with Jody I think our listeners will too. Yeah that was a really

great conversation and I'm sure that Fort with much rather talk about that than another big story that popped up just in the last week or so.

And I'm sure you saw this Pete with General Motors and its Cruise automated driving subsidiary. They have filed suit to stop Ford from using the name Blue Cruise to market hands-free driving technology.

And you hardly ever see this kind of high-level

sniffing between two big automakers.

And I was curious about what to think about that, Pete.

I mean, this is a pretty crazy story.

It is a crazy story.

And you know, I'm really interested to see where it goes because yes you have you have

general motors which is kind of cornered the you know the name super cruise for its driver assist system that Jeff Miller talked to us about a few weeks back.

They have cruise automation and they think that Ford with Blue Cruz is stepping on on their turf a little bit too much and I don't know you know go back to does this mean that that Chrysler has a claim here?

I mean, they invented cruise control way back in the 50s.
