In this conversation, we dive into…

  • How large-scale systems thinking is integral to projects of this size and vision
  • Smart Columbus OS and the foundations of Smart Columbus
  • Successful pilot programs that were deployed, including the very first autonomous shuttle by May Mobility
  • As always, advice on how to learn more about and begin working in the smart city space

Jordan is a guest I’ve been very excited about and waiting to talk to for a very long time now, and this interview on her work and the progress Columbus has made was truly an inspiration to say the least!
