Canoo: Get In, Let's Go

As we seek to challenge the norms of automotive, we are emboldened by the success of the many artists and designers who go before us. In this episode, we chat with two legends in the industry and true disruptors, Rem D Koolhaas and Joey Ruiter. Co-hosted by Canoo's design chief Richard Kim.

An in-depth interview with one of the most innovative minds in automotive today. Adam Roe, CEO and Founder of Zero Labs, opens up about what he loves most about electric cars, his secret to getting skilled at anything, and the psychology behind how cars make us feel. Zero Labs has nabbed headlines for it’s electrified versions of the old Ford Bronco and Land Rover IIIs, and Adam himself has found success along a totally unconventional path, preserving what is old by making it new and sustainable.

The COVID-19 pandemic has fundamentally changed so many things about life in the US. With millions of jobs lost and billions drained from the global economy, every major industry has been affected—and tech is no exception. For today’s episode, we’ll chat with leaders from DoorDash, Khan Academy, and Canoo to explore some of the unique impacts of COVID-19 on the tech industry and how technology has contributed to reopening and the ‘new normal’.

To many, taking environmental action seems like a no-brainer. But what happens when that same group is asked to pay for the changes we need to curb the effects of climate change? For this episode, we talk with climate advocate Dr. Graham Doig, economics professor and researcher Dr. Fynn Prager, and automotive investment banker Paul Balciunas about the economics of climate solutions and their implications for the future of our planet.

Why do cars look the way they do? How have they changed in the past 100 years, and how haven’t they? How will autonomy change the way we expect them to look and work? Is “champagne” really better than “beige”? For this episode of Get In Let’s Go, we chat with our designers for the answers to these and many other important questions on the design evolution of the automobile. https://www.canoo.com/

In the next episode of “Get In, Let’s Go!”, we examine the growing popularity of subscription-based business models. With subscription services now available for everything from underwear to dinner, dog treats and beyond, we look closer at what works about these models, what doesn’t, and how they could be deployed for automotive. Starring Alex Marcinkowski (Corporate Strategist), Amanda Walker (Legal), and Bob Wolfley (In Charge of Social Media & Community).   https://www.canoo.com/

In our inaugural episode, “Get In, Let’s Go!” explores two of the zeitgeist issues facing mobility today—electrification and autonomy. Both of these topics have huge future implications for our daily lives, how our cities function, and the health of our planet—but for today’s episode we ask a difficult question…which is more important? Featuring Phil Weicker, In Charge of Propulsion and Electronics at Canoo, with input from Jun Guo (ADAS Systems) and Isaac Meadows (Electrical Engineering), we debate the costs, benefits, and overall implications of electrification and autonomy at global scale. https://www.canoo.com/
