This episode we are excited to interview Dr. Henry Liu, Professor at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Michigan and the Director at CCAT (Center for Connected and Automated Transportation).  We take a break from our aviation focus and discuss surface autonomous vehicles.

Join us as we discuss:

• How he got into the transportation industry and how his journey over the last 20 years has been including the challenges that have come with language barriers,
• How the mentors he had in his life helped him in his career and shaped him into the person he is today,
• The importance he sees in paying it forward,
• How he has used his experience in China to shape how he solves transportation issues in America,
• His two year leave of absence to go back to China and the business he started there,
• What we can expect from CCAT including safety measures for unmanned aircraft,
• His thoughts on the new infrastructure bill under the new administration and the importance of infrastructure support,
• How his projects consider those who have disabilities,
• Collaborations with other Universities,
• How autonomous vehicles will be environmentally friendly, 
• And our favorite sport to watch!
