Matt Moore on Highway Technology

My guest for this episode is Matt Moore, SVP of the Highway Loss Data Institute. At HLDI Matt manages the research function for HLDI’s massive insurance and automobile dataset. In this episode we leap to the cutting edge of AI in automobiles and learn about how well some key safety features perform, such as:

  • Front Automatic Emergency Brakes
  • Curve-adaptive headlights (Big surprise!)
  • Lane departure warning systems
  • Blind spot warning systems
  • Parking sensors
  • Rear cameras
  • Rear automatic emergency brake

In addition to rattling through those features and how effective they are we touch on all sorts of related topics: what the different levels of AI are, how safe the roads can get, the mix of hardware and software in modern vehicle safety systems and much, much more!

Dinos Iordanou

My guest for this episode is Dinos Iordanou (player link), former Chairman and CEO of Arch, which he co-founded as Arch in 2001 and led from 2003 until retiring last year. In this incredible episode we cover: 

  • Dinos’ homeland of Cyprus (who is his favorite Cypriot? Who is the best Cypriot soccer player of all time? Where did a poor, young Dinos vacation and why?)
  • ‘Crappy’ jobs (and why Dinos loved them all), 
  • What quality Hank Greenberg and Warren Buffett share (Dinos worked with both!)
  • What lessons Dinos learned from Warren Buffet
  • The power of culture to transform firms
  • Philotimo, what it is and why it matters for a leader

An amazing show and my deep appreciation of Dinos for his time.
