Gwen Lighter is building the aircraft that gets there

Traffic was the problem. Gwen Lighter's father had chest palpitations; the family called 911, and the ambulance came fast. Then it hit traffic. Lighter followed in her own car, repeating two words at the windshield.

"I remember in my car trailing the ambulance saying over and over again, please move, please move, please move," she told the CEO.com Podcast. "I thought at that moment that this was ridiculous, that anybody could be in this situation when we did not need to be."

Her father made it in time. Many people do not. Researchers at the Maine Rural Health Research Center count 4.5 million Americans living in "ambulance deserts," more than 25 minutes from the nearest ambulance station. That figure describes an ordinary day, before a flood in Texas or a fire in Los Angeles or an earthquake in Turkey takes the roads out entirely.

Lighter's answer is GoAERO, a competition offering more than $2 million in prizes to the teams that can build an Emergency Response Flyer: a safe, portable, autonomy-enabled aircraft that carries a first responder to a person in need, carries the person out, or carries supplies in when nothing with wheels can move.

She is not an aerospace engineer. She went to Brown, then Harvard Law, worked at Morgan Stanley, and clerked for a federal judge. Her first recruiting target was Boeing, where she met then-CTO John Tracy. Boeing stayed through two of his successors, Greg Hyslop and Howard McKenzie, and introduced her to NASA, where she worked with Robert Pearce, who led the agency's aeronautics research, and the team at NASA Ames. RTX chief scientist Michael Winter and Geoff Hunt followed. The partner list is now more than 20 organizations long.

Her account of how a lawyer assembled that room: "The underlying mission resonates with everyone. When I was behind that ambulance, it was me at that moment, but you understand it. Your colleagues understand it. Your friends understand it."

The competition runs in three stages. Stage 1 was the paper stage; in February 2025, GoAERO awarded $500,000 to 11 winners and 14 U.S. university teams supported by NASA. Stage 2 was the prototype stage; in December 2025, eight teams from the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, and the Netherlands split $320,000 for aircraft that actually flew. More than 200 teams from 85 countries remain in the field, and new teams can still enter. Stage 3 is the full-scale flyer, which ends at a multi-day Fly-Off at NASA Ames Research Center in the San Francisco Bay Area, scheduled for April 2027.

The Fly-Off has three missions. Productivity is back and forth, back and forth: fire retardant runs, repeated rescues. Maneuverability is in and out, up and down, tight corners. Adversity is high winds, low visibility, bad weather. "Whatever Mother Nature throws at us," Lighter said. There is a $1 million grand prize, an Autonomy Prize, an RTX Disruptor Prize, and a prize for each mission. A team can chase all of them or one.

Lighter wants many winners, not one. "Some may be better at the adversity missions, and some may be the best in autonomy," she said. "We have given to the world these first stages of these flyers to then be worked upon and improved and tested and bettered."

Asked what the teams are struggling with, she declined to rank the difficulties. "Everything is tough. It would be difficult to build something that stays on the ground. We're adding gravity to that."

This is her second competition. Since 2017, she has run GoFly, which drew 854 teams and 3,800 innovators from 103 countries to build personal flying devices, jetpacks, and flying motorcycles among them, before flying taxis were dinner conversation. The technology that made GoFly possible now feeds GoAERO: batteries that keep improving, sense-and-avoid systems from the drone world, 3D metal printing that lets a garage team build what once required Boeing.

The aircraft may be the easier half. Emergency response has no single buyer. Purchasing happens at the municipal level, at FEMA, and differently in Spain than in Australia. So Lighter is on a plane most weeks, meeting governments, regulators, and universities. "We're trying to bring everyone together to not only create these emergency response flyers, but also to create the framework for them to be able to be deployed, so that after the competition they're eventually in use and they are saving lives," she said.

Her staff has stayed with her from GoFly to GoAERO. "We've never lost anybody," she said. "It's still the same team, because we so enjoy working together, because we believe in the mission."

Every CEO.com Podcast conversation ends with the same question, built on the belief that the chances one gives matter as much as the chances one takes. Asked who gave her a chance, Lighter did not name an investor. She named her father, who tries to leave every room better than he found it. Her mother, who made her strong. Her children, her team, the teams building the aircraft, the people at the FAA.

"I go through life with people who give us chances to do well and to do good," she said. "We don't always get it right, but we certainly try."

00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:55.887

And<00:02:56.785> so<00:02:57.716> given<00:02:58.759> that<00:02:59.497> we<00:02:59.657> are<00:02:59.882> truly<00:03:00.459> in<00:03:00.684> this<00:03:01.487> golden<00:03:02.129> age<00:03:02.547> of<00:03:02.852> aviation<00:03:04.153> where<00:03:04.490> there's<00:03:04.796> convergence<00:03:05.454> of<00:03:05.519> so<00:03:05.920> many<00:03:06.145> breakthrough<00:03:06.482> technologies,<00:03:07.286> which<00:03:07.462> I'm<00:03:07.671> happy<00:03:07.928> to<00:03:08.555> list<00:03:09.053> or<00:03:09.133> speak<00:03:09.454> about<00:03:09.759> should<00:03:09.920> you<00:03:10.016> wish.

00:03:10.563 --> 00:03:31.557
But<00:03:10.804> given<00:03:11.045> that<00:03:11.205> we're<00:03:11.446> in<00:03:11.623> this<00:03:11.928> moment,<00:03:13.069> we<00:03:13.213> should<00:03:13.470> be<00:03:13.695> harnessing<00:03:15.398> these<00:03:15.719> cutting-edge<00:03:16.442> technologies,<00:03:17.743> harnessing<00:03:19.157> these<00:03:19.558> transformative<00:03:20.924> aviation<00:03:22.868> missions<00:03:23.735> and<00:03:23.831> ideas<00:03:24.554> to<00:03:24.779> be<00:03:25.101> able<00:03:25.518> to<00:03:25.920> actually<00:03:26.643> create<00:03:27.028> emergency<00:03:27.607> response<00:03:28.169> aircraft<00:03:28.860> that<00:03:29.277> help<00:03:29.614> us<00:03:29.935> all<00:03:30.401> when<00:03:30.642> we<00:03:30.754> need<00:03:30.995> it<00:03:31.140> most.

00:03:32.167 --> 00:03:33.548
And<00:03:32.264> that's<00:03:32.585> how<00:03:32.745> it<00:03:32.825> all<00:03:32.922> started.

00:03:33.949 --> 00:03:41.833
We<00:03:34.110> were<00:03:34.431> very<00:03:34.752> fortunate<00:03:35.378> to<00:03:35.539> be<00:03:35.716> able<00:03:35.957> to<00:03:36.197> bring<00:03:36.502> on<00:03:37.016> some<00:03:37.241> of<00:03:37.402> most<00:03:37.803> phenomenal<00:03:38.847> partners<00:03:39.874> in<00:03:40.051> aerospace<00:03:40.693> and<00:03:40.838> first<00:03:41.175> response.

00:03:42.299 --> 00:03:49.091
And<00:03:42.379> I<00:03:42.620> think<00:03:42.925> that<00:03:43.021> we<00:03:43.182> were<00:03:43.487> able<00:03:43.744> to<00:03:43.985> do<00:03:44.226> it<00:03:44.948> because<00:03:45.510> the<00:03:45.815> underlying<00:03:46.490> mission<00:03:47.822> resonates<00:03:48.545> with<00:03:48.705> everyone.

00:03:49.605 --> 00:03:54.229
Yeah,<00:03:49.829> tell<00:03:49.974> me<00:03:50.086> your<00:03:50.311> pitch<00:03:50.568> to<00:03:50.729> these<00:03:50.889> incredible<00:03:51.435> partners<00:03:52.158> and<00:03:52.318> what<00:03:52.415> got<00:03:52.655> them<00:03:52.832> excited<00:03:53.298> to<00:03:53.378> be<00:03:53.539> so<00:03:53.699> involved.

00:03:54.422 --> 00:04:01.063
So<00:03:56.657> our<00:03:57.075> first<00:03:57.638> partner<00:03:58.185> that<00:03:58.442> we<00:03:58.683> brought<00:03:59.230> on<00:04:00.275> was<00:04:00.693> Boeing.

00:04:01.562 --> 00:04:11.427
And<00:04:03.587> we<00:04:04.631> had<00:04:05.113> met<00:04:05.659> with<00:04:06.864> the<00:04:08.069> chief<00:04:08.310> engineer,<00:04:08.728> CTO<00:04:09.756> at<00:04:09.917> that<00:04:10.094> time,<00:04:10.576> John<00:04:10.897> Tracy.

00:04:11.877 --> 00:04:13.796
He<00:04:11.990> was<00:04:12.167> a<00:04:12.506> big<00:04:12.683> supporter<00:04:13.312> of<00:04:13.457> us.

00:04:14.602 --> 00:04:16.134
Then<00:04:15.247> he<00:04:15.489> retired.

00:04:16.214 --> 00:04:19.455
Greg<00:04:16.601> Hyslop<00:04:17.117> came<00:04:17.488> on<00:04:17.891> as<00:04:18.149> the<00:04:18.294> chief<00:04:18.552> engineer,<00:04:18.972> CTO.

00:04:20.070 --> 00:04:23.872
Boeing<00:04:20.976> also<00:04:21.380> really<00:04:21.947> rallied<00:04:22.448> behind<00:04:23.096> what<00:04:23.257> we<00:04:23.419> were<00:04:23.581> doing.

00:04:24.536 --> 00:04:29.966
And<00:04:24.940> now<00:04:25.361> we<00:04:25.668> work<00:04:26.089> with<00:04:26.478> Howard<00:04:26.736> McKenzie,<00:04:27.529> who<00:04:27.691> was<00:04:27.934> there,<00:04:28.338> who<00:04:28.500> has<00:04:28.743> been<00:04:28.856> a<00:04:28.970> phenomenal<00:04:29.628> partner.

00:04:30.609 --> 00:04:37.085
With<00:04:31.010> Boeing,<00:04:31.814> we<00:04:32.859> were<00:04:33.244> able<00:04:33.903> to<00:04:35.334> meet<00:04:36.234> the<00:04:36.330> NASA<00:04:36.796> team.

And<00:05:34.423> so<00:05:35.448> we<00:05:36.730> are<00:05:36.826> so<00:05:37.067> thankful<00:05:38.172> to<00:05:38.268> have<00:05:38.493> those<00:05:38.733> opportunities<00:05:39.310> to<00:05:39.550> work<00:05:39.710> with<00:05:39.855> our<00:05:40.015> partners.

00:05:40.431 --> 00:05:47.209
And<00:05:40.576> frankly,<00:05:41.216> every<00:05:41.713> day,<00:05:43.219> we<00:05:43.396> are<00:05:43.556> bringing<00:05:43.940> on<00:05:44.117> new<00:05:44.357> partners<00:05:44.998> and<00:05:45.158> new<00:05:45.478> amazing<00:05:46.039> teams<00:05:46.440> around<00:05:46.744> the<00:05:46.904> world.

00:05:47.626 --> 00:05:58.559
Right<00:05:47.966> now,<00:05:49.810> we<00:05:50.215> have<00:05:50.716> signed<00:05:51.186> up<00:05:51.671> over<00:05:52.335> 200<00:05:52.966> teams<00:05:53.775> from<00:05:54.098> 85<00:05:54.843> different<00:05:55.150> countries<00:05:55.959> that<00:05:56.380> are<00:05:56.510> participating<00:05:57.672> in<00:05:57.914> Go<00:05:58.156> Aero.

00:05:58.882 --> 00:06:12.572
So<00:05:59.285> we<00:05:59.673> think<00:06:00.238> that<00:06:00.560> at<00:06:00.738> the<00:06:01.045> end<00:06:01.319> of<00:06:01.464> the<00:06:01.609> competition,<00:06:03.090> there<00:06:03.202> will<00:06:03.605> be<00:06:04.651> numerous<00:06:05.295> types<00:06:06.325> of<00:06:06.744> first<00:06:07.227> response<00:06:07.935> flyers,<00:06:08.821> emergency<00:06:09.416> response<00:06:09.964> flyers,<00:06:10.994> and<00:06:11.397> that's<00:06:11.574> a<00:06:11.654> good<00:06:11.815> thing<00:06:12.057> for<00:06:12.202> all<00:06:12.234> of<00:06:12.363> us.

00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:15.212
Yeah,<00:06:14.441> yeah,<00:06:14.778> for<00:06:14.922> sure.

00:06:15.404 --> 00:06:18.360
And<00:06:15.806> the<00:06:15.902> difference<00:06:16.288> you're<00:06:16.368> making<00:06:16.770> here<00:06:17.171> is<00:06:17.669> unbelievable.

00:06:18.408 --> 00:06:22.327
So<00:06:18.633> give<00:06:18.810> us<00:06:18.954> a<00:06:19.019> sense<00:06:19.259> for<00:06:19.500> what<00:06:19.693> stage<00:06:20.416> of<00:06:20.561> the<00:06:20.721> prize<00:06:21.508> are<00:06:21.669> we<00:06:21.910> in<00:06:22.070> right<00:06:22.247> now?

00:06:22.954 --> 00:06:27.596
So<00:06:23.355> Clint,<00:06:23.693> we<00:06:24.175> divided<00:06:25.299> the<00:06:25.685> competition<00:06:26.327> into<00:06:26.584> 3<00:06:26.825> different<00:06:27.082> stages.

00:06:27.949 --> 00:06:30.536
And<00:06:28.110> when<00:06:28.255> we<00:06:28.335> say<00:06:28.592> them,<00:06:28.753> you'll<00:06:28.897> say,<00:06:29.154> of<00:06:29.299> course,<00:06:29.716> because<00:06:30.038> it's<00:06:30.198> natural.

00:06:31.162 --> 00:06:33.186
The<00:06:31.307> 3<00:06:31.467> stages<00:06:31.869> are<00:06:32.286> the<00:06:32.431> paper<00:06:32.752> stage.

00:06:33.250 --> 00:06:36.527
Obviously<00:06:33.571> nothing's<00:06:33.957> paper,<00:06:34.294> it's<00:06:34.455> a<00:06:34.535> digital<00:06:34.856> submission,<00:06:35.403> but<00:06:35.563> the<00:06:35.660> paper<00:06:35.997> stage.

00:06:37.105 --> 00:06:38.503
And<00:06:37.266> we've<00:06:37.491> already—<00:06:37.812> that's<00:06:38.053> stage<00:06:38.390> 1.

00:06:38.631 --> 00:06:41.025
We've<00:06:38.856> awarded<00:06:39.274> the<00:06:39.418> prizes<00:06:39.997> for<00:06:40.238> that<00:06:40.623> already.

00:06:41.667 --> 00:06:44.187
And<00:06:41.763> then<00:06:41.940> Stage<00:06:42.469> 2<00:06:42.742> is<00:06:42.887> the<00:06:43.047> prototype<00:06:43.689> stage.

00:06:44.475 --> 00:06:47.477
Prototypes<00:06:44.973> can<00:06:45.214> be<00:06:45.358> full-scale<00:06:46.401> or<00:06:46.514> subscale.

00:06:47.557 --> 00:06:55.164
So<00:06:48.263> the<00:06:49.724> submissions,<00:06:50.911> those<00:06:51.056> Stage<00:06:51.473> 2<00:06:51.618> submissions,<00:06:53.383> are<00:06:53.624> due<00:06:54.041> September<00:06:54.763> 30th.

00:06:55.309 --> 00:06:57.026
So<00:06:55.550> that<00:06:55.790> is<00:06:55.967> certainly<00:06:56.368> coming<00:06:56.834> up.

00:06:57.797 --> 00:07:06.961
We<00:06:57.893> will<00:06:58.053> award<00:06:58.439> those<00:06:58.695> prizes<00:07:00.605> in<00:07:01.023> November,<00:07:02.066> and<00:07:02.306> then<00:07:03.189> we<00:07:03.334> will<00:07:03.494> go<00:07:03.671> into<00:07:03.847> Stage<00:07:04.393> 3,<00:07:04.794> which<00:07:05.035> is<00:07:05.195> the<00:07:05.356> full-scale<00:07:06.319> flyer.

00:07:07.507 --> 00:07:12.532
And<00:07:07.619> so<00:07:07.828> that's<00:07:08.085> when<00:07:08.229> the<00:07:08.326> teams<00:07:08.711> are<00:07:09.032> building<00:07:10.718> their,<00:07:11.039> their<00:07:11.232> full-scale<00:07:11.938> aircraft.

00:07:12.886 --> 00:07:30.725
And<00:07:13.287> that<00:07:13.849> will<00:07:14.491> then<00:07:14.812> take<00:07:15.214> us<00:07:15.535> to<00:07:16.900> the<00:07:17.060> culmination<00:07:18.505> of<00:07:19.228> our<00:07:19.629> Go<00:07:20.031> Aero<00:07:20.352> competition,<00:07:21.476> which<00:07:21.813> is<00:07:22.054> the<00:07:22.134> final<00:07:22.616> fly-off,<00:07:23.499> which<00:07:23.884> is<00:07:24.141> this<00:07:24.527> multi-day<00:07:25.410> event<00:07:25.827> that<00:07:26.052> we<00:07:26.148> just<00:07:26.389> announced<00:07:26.775> we'll<00:07:26.871> be<00:07:27.015> hosting<00:07:27.577> at<00:07:27.754> NASA<00:07:28.300> Ames,<00:07:28.701> which<00:07:28.878> is<00:07:29.023> in<00:07:29.119> the<00:07:29.183> San<00:07:29.376> Francisco<00:07:29.986> Bay<00:07:30.243> Area.

00:07:31.270 --> 00:07:42.957
And<00:07:33.132> We<00:07:33.918> at—<00:07:34.671> in<00:07:34.895> conjunction<00:07:35.360> with<00:07:35.456> NASA<00:07:35.841> Ames<00:07:36.338> and<00:07:36.418> with<00:07:36.562> our<00:07:36.722> partners,<00:07:37.460> we<00:07:37.540> will<00:07:37.684> have<00:07:38.004> all<00:07:38.181> of<00:07:38.325> the<00:07:38.421> teams<00:07:39.158> fly<00:07:40.104> through<00:07:40.986> the<00:07:41.226> 3<00:07:41.867> different<00:07:42.428> missions.

00:07:43.374 --> 00:07:45.665
They<00:07:43.614> are<00:07:44.672> productivity,<00:07:45.537> right?

00:07:45.778 --> 00:07:47.733
Think<00:07:46.034> back<00:07:46.210> and<00:07:46.291> forth,<00:07:46.659> back<00:07:46.819> and<00:07:46.900> forth,<00:07:47.220> back<00:07:47.396> and<00:07:47.477> forth.

00:07:47.797 --> 00:07:58.856
You<00:07:47.941> can<00:07:48.102> imagine<00:07:48.823> in<00:07:48.999> a<00:07:49.224> wildfire<00:07:49.897> setting<00:07:50.666> how<00:07:50.842> it<00:07:50.922> is<00:07:51.147> very<00:07:51.547> important<00:07:51.948> to<00:07:51.980> go<00:07:52.124> back<00:07:52.365> and<00:07:52.445> forth<00:07:53.150> with<00:07:53.903> fire<00:07:54.128> retardant,<00:07:55.410> with,<00:07:56.275> you<00:07:56.308> know,<00:07:57.013> rescuing<00:07:57.574> people<00:07:57.894> that<00:07:58.135> need<00:07:58.439> that,<00:07:58.615> right?

00:07:59.801 --> 00:08:03.760
Also<00:08:00.539> in<00:08:00.923> the<00:08:01.003> floods<00:08:01.420> that<00:08:01.645> we<00:08:01.741> just<00:08:01.869> experienced,<00:08:02.222> experienced<00:08:02.638> in<00:08:02.782> Texas,<00:08:03.327> right?

00:08:03.824 --> 00:08:05.924
To<00:08:03.984> be<00:08:04.209> able<00:08:04.385> to<00:08:04.626> rescue<00:08:05.090> people<00:08:05.411> who<00:08:05.571> need<00:08:05.812> that.

00:08:05.988 --> 00:08:07.158
That's<00:08:06.228> the<00:08:06.308> productivity<00:08:06.805> mission.

00:08:07.911 --> 00:08:10.764
The<00:08:07.991> second<00:08:08.776> mission<00:08:09.658> is<00:08:09.995> maneuverability.

00:08:11.036 --> 00:08:23.297
Think<00:08:11.213> of<00:08:11.357> it<00:08:11.741> in<00:08:11.918> and<00:08:12.142> out<00:08:12.399> and<00:08:12.623> up<00:08:12.879> and<00:08:13.040> down,<00:08:13.841> tight<00:08:14.226> corners,<00:08:14.947> all<00:08:15.267> of<00:08:15.428> that<00:08:15.764> to<00:08:15.924> be<00:08:16.389> able<00:08:16.806> to<00:08:17.287> function<00:08:17.848> in<00:08:18.473> adverse<00:08:18.969> environments,<00:08:19.915> natural<00:08:20.556> disaster<00:08:21.037> kind<00:08:21.229> of<00:08:21.374> climates<00:08:22.079> and<00:08:22.720> all<00:08:22.896> of<00:08:22.976> that.

00:08:23.761 --> 00:08:25.108
And<00:08:23.922> so<00:08:24.162> that's<00:08:24.403> the<00:08:24.435> adversity<00:08:24.899> mission.

00:08:25.460 --> 00:08:29.339
And<00:08:25.540> then<00:08:25.765> the<00:08:26.406> third<00:08:26.742> mission<00:08:27.384> we<00:08:27.784> have—<00:08:27.928> I'm<00:08:28.009> sorry,<00:08:28.185> that's<00:08:28.281> the<00:08:28.425> maneuverability<00:08:29.082> mission.

00:08:29.531 --> 00:08:31.839
The<00:08:29.707> third<00:08:29.948> mission<00:08:30.332> we<00:08:30.429> have<00:08:31.054> is<00:08:31.230> adversity.

00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:41.046
Think<00:08:33.137> high<00:08:33.474> winds,<00:08:34.019> low<00:08:34.116> visibility,<00:08:35.142> bad<00:08:35.463> weather,<00:08:36.265> all<00:08:36.426> of<00:08:36.522> the<00:08:36.682> things<00:08:36.923> that<00:08:37.083> you<00:08:37.228> would<00:08:37.340> expect<00:08:38.190> in,<00:08:38.752> you<00:08:38.784> know,<00:08:38.928> whatever<00:08:39.249> Mother<00:08:39.570> Nature<00:08:39.971> throws<00:08:40.597> at<00:08:40.773> us.

00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:44.110
And<00:08:41.736> so<00:08:41.960> we<00:08:42.057> have<00:08:42.281> prizes<00:08:42.762> for<00:08:43.083> each<00:08:43.276> of<00:08:43.420> those<00:08:43.725> missions.

00:08:44.463 --> 00:08:46.356
We<00:08:44.607> also<00:08:44.784> have<00:08:45.169> an<00:08:45.249> autonomy<00:08:45.971> prize.

00:08:46.773 --> 00:08:48.762
We<00:08:46.933> have<00:08:47.126> an<00:08:47.351> RTX<00:08:47.832> Disruptor<00:08:48.393> Prize.

00:08:49.099 --> 00:08:55.243
And<00:08:49.195> then,<00:08:49.420> of<00:08:49.516> course,<00:08:49.821> we<00:08:49.917> have<00:08:50.142> a<00:08:50.238> $1<00:08:50.479> million<00:08:51.185> grand<00:08:51.522> prize<00:08:52.243> for<00:08:52.404> the<00:08:52.548> team<00:08:52.789> that<00:08:52.949> does<00:08:53.190> the<00:08:53.286> best<00:08:53.751> in<00:08:53.928> those<00:08:54.329> 3<00:08:54.874> missions.

00:08:55.356 --> 00:09:00.472
And<00:08:55.452> teams<00:08:55.757> can<00:08:55.805> decide<00:08:56.174> to<00:08:56.318> participate<00:08:56.751> in<00:08:56.960> all<00:08:57.056> of<00:08:57.136> the<00:08:57.217> missions<00:08:57.714> or<00:08:57.778> focus<00:08:58.179> on<00:08:58.340> just<00:08:58.902> one<00:08:59.222> or<00:08:59.446> two<00:08:59.783> of<00:08:59.927> the<00:09:00.023> missions.

00:09:00.984 --> 00:09:14.458
And<00:09:01.081> I<00:09:01.225> guess<00:09:01.465> that<00:09:01.625> gets<00:09:01.930> to<00:09:02.026> the<00:09:02.106> point<00:09:02.571> that<00:09:04.830> competitions<00:09:05.855> are<00:09:05.951> a<00:09:05.967> phenomenal<00:09:06.832> way<00:09:07.873> to<00:09:08.018> have<00:09:08.130> a<00:09:08.194> very<00:09:08.659> frothy,<00:09:10.341> robust<00:09:11.302> seeding<00:09:12.584> of<00:09:13.224> a<00:09:13.257> new<00:09:13.545> industry,<00:09:14.266> right?

00:09:14.522 --> 00:09:29.245
Because<00:09:14.859> success<00:09:15.483> for<00:09:15.788> us<00:09:16.204> is<00:09:16.365> that<00:09:17.005> it's<00:09:17.166> not<00:09:17.550> that<00:09:17.790> there's<00:09:18.047> just<00:09:18.447> one<00:09:19.152> grand<00:09:19.489> prize<00:09:19.953> winner,<00:09:20.674> but<00:09:20.850> there<00:09:21.155> are<00:09:21.251> multiple<00:09:22.116> teams<00:09:22.613> and<00:09:22.709> some<00:09:23.157> may<00:09:23.334> be<00:09:23.494> better<00:09:24.055> at<00:09:24.199> the<00:09:24.311> Adversity<00:09:25.000> missions<00:09:25.336> and<00:09:25.497> some<00:09:25.801> may<00:09:25.977> be<00:09:26.057> the<00:09:26.201> best<00:09:26.458> in<00:09:26.602> autonomy<00:09:27.483> and<00:09:27.579> some<00:09:27.820> may<00:09:27.980> be<00:09:28.124> best<00:09:28.380> in<00:09:28.621> urban<00:09:28.861> environments.

00:09:29.310 --> 00:09:31.826
Environments,<00:09:29.710> and<00:09:29.806> some<00:09:29.903> may<00:09:30.063> be<00:09:30.143> best<00:09:30.448> in<00:09:30.704> rural<00:09:31.105> environments.

00:09:32.147 --> 00:09:52.954
But<00:09:32.467> we<00:09:32.932> have<00:09:34.471> given<00:09:35.112> to<00:09:35.673> the<00:09:35.978> world<00:09:36.475> these<00:09:36.780> first<00:09:37.132> stages<00:09:37.902> of<00:09:38.078> these<00:09:38.383> flyers<00:09:39.425> to<00:09:39.745> then<00:09:40.643> be<00:09:42.086> worked<00:09:42.342> upon<00:09:42.951> and<00:09:43.047> improved<00:09:43.689> and<00:09:43.833> tested<00:09:44.474> and<00:09:44.714> bettered<00:09:45.131> and<00:09:45.436> all<00:09:45.596> of<00:09:45.756> that,<00:09:46.189> so<00:09:46.414> that<00:09:47.039> really<00:09:47.840> we<00:09:48.017> can<00:09:48.498> use<00:09:48.962> these<00:09:49.524> in,<00:09:50.004> in<00:09:50.325> a<00:09:50.501> few<00:09:50.742> years<00:09:51.303> to<00:09:51.527> be<00:09:51.848> able<00:09:52.088> to<00:09:52.185> save<00:09:52.585> lives.

00:09:53.371 --> 00:09:53.707
Right.

00:09:54.268 --> 00:09:59.110
So<00:09:54.429> tell<00:09:54.541> me,<00:09:55.391> before<00:09:55.775> this<00:09:55.936> you<00:09:56.016> were<00:09:56.112> doing<00:09:56.497> GoFly<00:09:57.635> and<00:09:57.779> you<00:09:57.859> were<00:09:57.955> doing<00:09:58.116> that<00:09:58.292> since<00:09:58.532> 2017.

00:09:59.158 --> 00:10:01.723
Give<00:09:59.302> us<00:09:59.366> a<00:09:59.462> sense<00:09:59.639> for<00:09:59.799> GoFly<00:10:00.360> and<00:10:00.504> what<00:10:00.745> you<00:10:00.985> were<00:10:01.306> doing<00:10:01.546> there.

00:10:02.188 --> 00:10:05.782
Yeah,<00:10:02.702> so<00:10:03.167> GoFly<00:10:04.049> was<00:10:04.514> our<00:10:04.611> predecessor<00:10:05.252> competition.

00:10:05.958 --> 00:10:06.375
That's<00:10:06.135> right.

00:10:06.696 --> 00:10:13.049
Um,<00:10:07.001> GoFly<00:10:08.124> was,<00:10:08.686> uh,<00:10:08.782> focused<00:10:09.247> really<00:10:09.568> on<00:10:09.728> recreational<00:10:10.322> vehicles,<00:10:11.252> um,<00:10:11.509> and<00:10:11.589> it<00:10:11.670> was<00:10:11.926> very<00:10:12.712> early.

00:10:13.274 --> 00:10:19.049
It<00:10:13.354> was<00:10:13.595> before<00:10:14.220> people<00:10:14.622> were<00:10:14.718> publicly<00:10:15.359> talking<00:10:15.825> about<00:10:16.418> flying<00:10:16.964> taxis<00:10:17.830> and,<00:10:18.071> and<00:10:18.392> all<00:10:18.488> of<00:10:18.648> that,<00:10:18.889> right?

00:10:19.130 --> 00:10:21.937
We<00:10:19.226> started<00:10:19.755> working<00:10:20.156> on<00:10:20.253> that<00:10:20.814> in<00:10:20.975> 2015.

00:10:22.178 --> 00:10:37.850
We<00:10:22.338> launched<00:10:22.659> the<00:10:22.803> competition<00:10:23.461> in<00:10:23.686> 2017,<00:10:24.969> and,<00:10:25.611> um,<00:10:26.012> it<00:10:26.189> was<00:10:26.574> about<00:10:27.472> using<00:10:28.274> these<00:10:29.782> transformative<00:10:30.343> technologies<00:10:30.840> that<00:10:31.386> I<00:10:31.498> spoke<00:10:31.819> about<00:10:32.348> earlier<00:10:33.728> to<00:10:34.369> kind<00:10:34.610> of<00:10:34.770> develop<00:10:35.428> new<00:10:35.733> ways<00:10:36.198> of<00:10:36.439> flying<00:10:37.257> and<00:10:37.481> moving.

00:10:38.299 --> 00:10:42.967
And<00:10:38.636> some<00:10:39.005> of<00:10:39.085> these<00:10:39.262> technologies<00:10:40.208> are<00:10:40.401> directly<00:10:40.786> applicable<00:10:41.347> to<00:10:41.507> what<00:10:41.668> we<00:10:41.748> are<00:10:41.892> doing<00:10:42.085> in<00:10:42.229> Go<00:10:42.454> Aero,<00:10:42.791> right?

00:10:43.208 --> 00:10:45.758
Some<00:10:43.368> of<00:10:43.496> these<00:10:43.673> are<00:10:43.753> the<00:10:43.833> technologies<00:10:44.459> that<00:10:44.619> you<00:10:44.715> see<00:10:45.036> every<00:10:45.277> day,<00:10:45.518> right?

00:10:46.143 --> 00:10:52.142
Electric<00:10:46.640> vehicles<00:10:47.266> go<00:10:47.523> further<00:10:47.924> and<00:10:48.148> faster<00:10:48.565> than<00:10:48.726> they<00:10:48.966> ever<00:10:49.191> did<00:10:49.351> before<00:10:49.768> because<00:10:50.153> the<00:10:50.185> increased<00:10:50.570> performance<00:10:51.051> of<00:10:51.132> batteries<00:10:51.501> and<00:10:51.613> capacitors.

00:10:52.896 --> 00:11:01.655
There's<00:10:53.297> the<00:10:53.458> sense<00:10:54.003> and<00:10:54.099> avoid<00:10:54.725> tech<00:10:55.944> from<00:10:56.168> the<00:10:56.265> drone<00:10:56.746> world,<00:10:57.709> configurations<00:10:58.655> that<00:10:58.831> make,<00:10:58.992> you<00:10:59.072> know,<00:10:59.232> previously<00:10:59.778> unflyable<00:11:01.061> parts<00:11:01.478> fly.

00:11:20.632 --> 00:11:28.754
It<00:11:20.873> opens<00:11:21.515> up<00:11:22.574> Well,<00:11:22.815> it<00:11:22.911> is<00:11:23.120> the<00:11:23.296> tools<00:11:23.858> to<00:11:24.019> allow<00:11:24.340> creators<00:11:24.741> around<00:11:25.062> the<00:11:25.287> world<00:11:25.624> to<00:11:25.865> be<00:11:26.170> able<00:11:27.550> to<00:11:28.273> build.

00:11:29.461 --> 00:11:32.061
And<00:11:29.942> I<00:11:30.038> can<00:11:30.199> go<00:11:30.424> on<00:11:30.536> and<00:11:30.664> on<00:11:30.825> about<00:11:31.066> those<00:11:31.242> other<00:11:31.467> technologies.

00:11:32.366 --> 00:11:41.645
But<00:11:32.848> really,<00:11:33.409> what<00:11:33.634> happens<00:11:34.132> is<00:11:34.373> they<00:11:34.597> came<00:11:35.079> together,<00:11:35.978> and<00:11:36.122> we<00:11:36.219> thought,<00:11:36.764> oh,<00:11:37.808> we<00:11:37.904> have<00:11:38.129> the<00:11:38.225> ability<00:11:38.707> to<00:11:38.803> make<00:11:39.108> people<00:11:39.413> fly<00:11:40.473> in<00:11:40.794> all<00:11:41.035> new<00:11:41.275> ways.

00:11:42.303 --> 00:11:42.848
We<00:11:42.383> should<00:11:42.560> do<00:11:42.720> this.

00:11:43.346 --> 00:11:45.577
And<00:11:43.699> that<00:11:44.004> was<00:11:44.149> really<00:11:44.807> how<00:11:45.048> it<00:11:45.128> started.

00:11:45.947 --> 00:11:48.900
So<00:11:46.236> what<00:11:46.316> does<00:11:46.492> a<00:11:46.557> typical<00:11:46.958> day<00:11:47.199> look<00:11:47.375> like<00:11:47.600> for<00:11:47.841> you<00:11:48.082> as<00:11:48.194> CEO?

00:11:50.327 --> 00:11:55.343
Um,<00:11:51.064> well,<00:11:51.369> what<00:11:51.481> does<00:11:51.689> a<00:11:51.769> typical—<00:11:52.170> ah,<00:11:52.491> there's<00:11:53.212> not<00:11:53.484> much<00:11:54.045> typical<00:11:54.526> about<00:11:54.894> any<00:11:55.151> day.

00:13:34.454 --> 00:13:35.949
We<00:13:34.598> are<00:13:34.695> bringing<00:13:35.097> on<00:13:35.322> new<00:13:35.483> partners.

00:13:36.310 --> 00:13:47.498
We<00:13:36.486> are<00:13:37.208> helping<00:13:37.610> to<00:13:37.706> create<00:13:38.011> this<00:13:38.252> ecosystem,<00:13:39.697> and<00:13:39.937> we<00:13:40.114> are<00:13:40.274> constantly<00:13:41.254> speaking<00:13:41.960> and<00:13:42.201> doing<00:13:42.843> and<00:13:43.164> going<00:13:43.950> and<00:13:45.652> trying<00:13:45.973> to<00:13:46.069> make<00:13:46.294> this<00:13:46.454> happen<00:13:46.856> for<00:13:47.000> all<00:13:47.097> of<00:13:47.257> us.

00:13:48.140 --> 00:13:56.503
Well,<00:13:48.220> it's<00:13:48.365> really<00:13:48.605> interesting<00:13:48.894> because<00:13:49.183> what<00:13:49.280> you're<00:13:49.825> doing<00:13:50.227> is<00:13:50.387> building<00:13:50.708> this<00:13:51.029> community<00:13:52.073> who<00:13:52.378> all<00:13:52.538> cares<00:13:52.875> about<00:13:53.196> this<00:13:53.533> and<00:13:53.662> wants<00:13:53.919> to<00:13:54.304> chip<00:13:54.625> in<00:13:54.866> and<00:13:54.946> wants<00:13:55.123> to<00:13:55.219> make<00:13:55.428> a<00:13:55.460> difference<00:13:55.845> and<00:13:55.989> an<00:13:56.070> impact.

00:13:57.209 --> 00:14:03.807
What<00:13:57.354> have<00:13:57.514> you<00:13:57.835> learned<00:13:58.189> about<00:13:58.574> building<00:13:59.055> communities<00:14:00.003> that,<00:14:00.340> you<00:14:00.436> know,<00:14:00.805> may<00:14:01.046> be<00:14:01.142> applicable<00:14:01.576> to<00:14:01.704> other<00:14:01.865> CEOs<00:14:02.394> and<00:14:02.571> people<00:14:02.812> who<00:14:02.908> are<00:14:03.068> listening<00:14:03.486> or<00:14:03.614> watching<00:14:03.775> us?

00:14:04.951 --> 00:14:05.177
This?

00:14:05.273 --> 00:14:08.191
Look,<00:14:05.838> building<00:14:06.112> a<00:14:06.176> community<00:14:06.660> is<00:14:06.902> difficult<00:14:07.692> all<00:14:07.869> the<00:14:08.014> time.

00:14:08.997 --> 00:14:22.240
We<00:14:10.271> are<00:14:10.529> lucky<00:14:11.722> in<00:14:12.060> that<00:14:13.189> what<00:14:13.414> is<00:14:13.560> important<00:14:13.914> to<00:14:14.302> us,<00:14:14.786> our<00:14:15.141> mission,<00:14:16.173> is<00:14:16.335> something<00:14:17.626> that<00:14:18.917> everyone<00:14:19.384> can<00:14:19.546> understand,<00:14:20.514> everyone<00:14:20.933> can<00:14:21.159> relate<00:14:21.498> to,<00:14:22.063> right?

00:14:22.305 --> 00:14:33.782
When<00:14:22.531> I<00:14:22.612> was<00:14:22.789> behind<00:14:23.112> that<00:14:23.420> ambulance,<00:14:24.489> it<00:14:24.570> was<00:14:24.732> me<00:14:25.040> at<00:14:25.137> that<00:14:25.445> moment,<00:14:26.012> but<00:14:27.649> you<00:14:27.892> understand<00:14:28.605> it,<00:14:28.945> you<00:14:29.043> know,<00:14:29.334> your<00:14:31.858> colleagues<00:14:32.368> understand<00:14:33.026> it,<00:14:33.256> your<00:14:33.305> friends<00:14:33.404> understand<00:14:33.667> it,<00:14:33.716> right?

00:14:33.832 --> 00:14:41.573
We<00:14:33.864> all<00:14:33.897> want<00:14:36.414> We<00:14:38.085> all,<00:14:38.728> in<00:14:38.808> our<00:14:38.985> best<00:14:39.226> selves,<00:14:40.014> are<00:14:40.271> humanitarians.

00:14:41.958 --> 00:14:43.501
We<00:14:42.119> want<00:14:42.424> the<00:14:42.521> best<00:14:42.826> for<00:14:42.923> the<00:14:43.083> world.

00:14:43.566 --> 00:14:44.787
We<00:14:43.646> want<00:14:43.871> the<00:14:43.967> best<00:14:44.208> for<00:14:44.305> each<00:14:44.610> other.

00:14:45.560 --> 00:14:50.727
So<00:14:45.737> we<00:14:45.915> are<00:14:46.222> able<00:14:46.948> to<00:14:48.805> easily—<00:14:49.790> well,<00:14:50.097> nothing's<00:14:50.517> easy.

00:14:51.228 --> 00:14:51.938
Nothing<00:14:51.567> is<00:14:51.744> easy.

00:14:52.293 --> 00:15:00.750
But<00:14:52.600> we<00:14:53.004> are—<00:14:54.893> our<00:14:55.054> mission<00:14:55.522> is<00:14:55.619> such<00:14:56.087> that<00:14:56.748> people<00:14:57.200> understand<00:14:57.846> it<00:14:58.330> and<00:14:58.491> they<00:14:58.604> see<00:14:59.798> the<00:15:00.105> worth<00:15:00.460> of<00:15:00.669> it.

00:15:01.931 --> 00:15:14.549
It<00:15:02.190> really<00:15:02.659> is<00:15:02.982> a<00:15:03.144> combination<00:15:04.681> of<00:15:06.638> business,<00:15:08.366> of<00:15:09.348> getting<00:15:09.751> people<00:15:10.137> to<00:15:10.250> see<00:15:11.103> the<00:15:12.166> real<00:15:13.212> need<00:15:13.599> for<00:15:13.776> what<00:15:14.001> we're<00:15:14.259> doing.

00:15:14.903 --> 00:15:25.967
And<00:15:15.370> frankly,<00:15:16.175> let's<00:15:16.915> be<00:15:17.157> clear,<00:15:17.785> we<00:15:17.962> are<00:15:18.188> helped<00:15:19.156> by<00:15:19.253> simply<00:15:19.721> turning<00:15:20.447> on,<00:15:21.416> you<00:15:21.513> know,<00:15:21.981> a<00:15:22.013> screen<00:15:22.965> and<00:15:23.127> seeing<00:15:23.756> what's<00:15:23.998> going<00:15:24.337> on<00:15:24.741> around,<00:15:25.306> around<00:15:25.628> the<00:15:25.790> world.

00:15:26.016 --> 00:15:30.150
It<00:15:26.097> seems<00:15:26.435> as<00:15:26.597> if,<00:15:26.839> you<00:15:26.920> know,<00:15:27.317> There<00:15:27.413> are<00:15:27.558> natural<00:15:27.880> disasters<00:15:29.651> all<00:15:29.812> the<00:15:29.909> time.

00:15:30.231 --> 00:15:31.728
There<00:15:30.295> are<00:15:30.376> always<00:15:30.714> natural<00:15:31.116> disasters.

00:15:32.147 --> 00:15:38.090
And<00:15:32.324> frankly,<00:15:33.290> everyone<00:15:33.612> we<00:15:33.773> know<00:15:34.256> unfortunately<00:15:34.803> has<00:15:35.045> moments<00:15:35.447> where<00:15:35.544> there's<00:15:35.769> a<00:15:35.801> medical<00:15:36.252> emergency<00:15:36.912> with<00:15:37.074> people<00:15:37.396> that<00:15:37.622> they<00:15:37.800> love.

00:15:38.526 --> 00:15:40.171
So<00:15:39.478> we<00:15:39.574> are<00:15:39.639> highly<00:15:39.720> relatable.

00:15:43.100 --> 00:15:56.615
And<00:15:43.212> yet<00:15:45.944> it's<00:15:46.104> exhausting<00:15:46.827> for<00:15:47.052> everybody<00:15:48.257> that,<00:15:48.595> you<00:15:48.675> know,<00:15:49.061> our<00:15:49.318> team,<00:15:50.266> our<00:15:50.925> partners,<00:15:51.792> it<00:15:52.114> really<00:15:53.048> Nothing<00:15:53.403> is<00:15:53.694> easy,<00:15:54.420> even<00:15:54.662> though<00:15:54.840> we<00:15:55.082> know<00:15:55.389> we're<00:15:55.631> all<00:15:55.792> doing<00:15:56.050> the<00:15:56.196> right<00:15:56.454> thing.

00:15:57.326 --> 00:16:08.543
And<00:15:57.406> I<00:15:57.584> think<00:15:57.826> that<00:15:58.052> that's<00:15:58.294> part<00:15:58.633> of<00:16:01.297> building<00:16:01.684> that<00:16:01.830> community,<00:16:02.522> coming<00:16:02.908> together<00:16:03.407> so<00:16:03.778> that<00:16:07.013> we<00:16:07.158> help<00:16:07.352> each<00:16:07.513> other<00:16:08.221> build.

00:16:08.865 --> 00:16:20.796
What<00:16:09.026> are<00:16:09.058> some<00:16:09.283> of<00:16:09.348> the<00:16:09.509> technical<00:16:09.976> challenges<00:16:10.475> you're<00:16:10.620> finding<00:16:11.022> that<00:16:11.183> these<00:16:11.360> teams<00:16:11.602> are<00:16:11.748> running<00:16:12.009> into<00:16:13.293> as<00:16:13.456> they're<00:16:13.700> building<00:16:14.188> these<00:16:14.611> autonomy-enabled<00:16:15.830> emergency<00:16:16.383> flyers<00:16:17.441> and<00:16:19.398> What<00:16:19.655> innovations<00:16:20.298> are<00:16:20.378> coming<00:16:20.764> out?

00:16:20.860 --> 00:16:22.307
Is<00:16:21.085> AI<00:16:21.407> helping<00:16:21.889> in<00:16:21.985> any<00:16:22.210> way?

00:16:22.548 --> 00:16:26.082
Like,<00:16:22.773> what<00:16:23.014> are<00:16:23.174> they<00:16:23.335> bumping<00:16:23.737> into<00:16:24.154> that's<00:16:24.877> becoming<00:16:25.279> like<00:16:25.520> a<00:16:25.600> challenge?

00:16:26.565 --> 00:16:27.609
Everything<00:16:26.902> is<00:16:27.047> tough,<00:16:27.368> right?

00:16:28.155 --> 00:16:31.780
It<00:16:28.478> would<00:16:28.656> be<00:16:28.899> difficult<00:16:29.611> to<00:16:29.951> build<00:16:30.210> something<00:16:30.679> that<00:16:30.857> stays<00:16:31.230> on<00:16:31.408> the<00:16:31.553> ground.

00:16:32.362 --> 00:16:36.813
We're<00:16:33.010> adding<00:16:33.414> gravity<00:16:33.981> to<00:16:34.143> that<00:16:34.337> in<00:16:34.466> its<00:16:34.709> most<00:16:34.968> simplistic<00:16:36.085> form,<00:16:36.425> right?

00:16:37.072 --> 00:16:38.543
Everything<00:16:37.710> is<00:16:37.889> difficult.

00:16:38.805 --> 00:16:48.138
So,<00:16:42.194> there<00:16:42.452> are<00:16:42.613> teams<00:16:43.579> that<00:16:43.740> have<00:16:43.998> approached<00:16:44.626> the<00:16:44.771> competition<00:16:45.980> where<00:16:46.221> they<00:16:46.398> are<00:16:46.543> designing<00:16:46.962> everything<00:16:47.526> from<00:16:47.768> scratch.

00:16:48.736 --> 00:16:55.838
There<00:16:48.913> are<00:16:49.234> other<00:16:49.540> teams<00:16:50.423> that<00:16:50.536> have<00:16:50.696> approached<00:16:51.323> the<00:16:51.468> competition<00:16:52.528> where<00:16:52.689> it<00:16:52.785> is<00:16:53.090> really<00:16:53.813> an<00:16:54.199> integration<00:16:55.179> challenge.

00:16:56.143 --> 00:17:03.454
So<00:16:56.384> they<00:16:56.625> are<00:16:56.786> taking<00:16:57.332> the<00:16:57.589> best<00:16:57.991> of<00:16:58.152> what<00:16:58.328> is<00:16:58.698> out<00:16:58.939> there<00:16:59.582> in<00:16:59.678> the<00:16:59.839> different<00:17:00.385> areas<00:17:01.205> and<00:17:01.365> integrating<00:17:02.072> it<00:17:02.249> into<00:17:02.908> a<00:17:02.972> whole<00:17:03.197> new<00:17:03.358> way.

00:17:04.017 --> 00:17:25.134
We<00:17:04.178> have<00:17:04.338> teams<00:17:04.724> that<00:17:04.820> are<00:17:05.126> building<00:17:05.704> their—<00:17:06.170> from<00:17:06.363> scratch,<00:17:06.829> their<00:17:07.070> whole<00:17:07.554> new<00:17:08.043> airframes,<00:17:09.249> and<00:17:09.510> we<00:17:09.820> have<00:17:10.162> teams<00:17:11.140> that<00:17:11.613> are<00:17:12.053> using<00:17:14.954> existing<00:17:15.761> airframes<00:17:16.632> and<00:17:16.955> changing<00:17:17.698> them<00:17:18.085> around<00:17:18.812> to<00:17:19.070> work<00:17:19.554> for<00:17:20.023> the<00:17:20.055> missions<00:17:20.604> that<00:17:20.830> they<00:17:21.007> find<00:17:22.283> are<00:17:22.767> most<00:17:23.106> important<00:17:23.671> for<00:17:23.992> them.

00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:36.323
And<00:17:25.616> so<00:17:27.352> there<00:17:27.529> is<00:17:27.786> no<00:17:28.976> one<00:17:29.844> area<00:17:31.933> that<00:17:32.417> is<00:17:33.175> singularly<00:17:35.807> difficult.

00:17:36.953 --> 00:17:37.825
It's<00:17:37.179> all<00:17:37.340> difficult.

00:17:38.632 --> 00:17:39.713
It's<00:17:38.955> all<00:17:39.116> a<00:17:39.213> challenge.

00:17:40.085 --> 00:17:54.849
If<00:17:40.181> it<00:17:40.327> was<00:17:40.730> easy,<00:17:41.659> You<00:17:41.902> would<00:17:42.079> not<00:17:42.564> need<00:17:43.517> the<00:17:43.678> consortium<00:17:44.276> of<00:17:44.567> partners<00:17:45.229> that<00:17:45.471> we<00:17:45.697> have<00:17:46.747> and<00:17:46.844> a<00:17:46.925> prize<00:17:48.055> and<00:17:48.136> several<00:17:48.540> millions<00:17:48.944> of<00:17:49.089> dollars<00:17:49.994> in<00:17:50.236> winnings<00:17:51.288> to<00:17:51.628> spur<00:17:52.017> the<00:17:52.178> innovation<00:17:53.214> because<00:17:53.473> everybody<00:17:53.942> would<00:17:54.040> just<00:17:54.509> do<00:17:54.622> it.

00:17:55.739 --> 00:18:13.316
Then<00:17:56.856> there's<00:17:57.260> also<00:17:57.681> the<00:17:57.988> opportunity<00:17:59.054> to<00:17:59.681> integrate<00:18:01.706> burgeoning<00:18:02.188> technology<00:18:03.378> in<00:18:03.619> actually<00:18:05.886> emergency<00:18:06.449> response<00:18:07.417> and<00:18:07.757> fielding<00:18:08.892> the<00:18:09.132> calls<00:18:10.318> and<00:18:10.639> anticipating<00:18:12.018> natural<00:18:12.418> disasters.

00:18:13.605 --> 00:18:41.945
And<00:18:13.781> so<00:18:14.246> they're<00:18:14.502> really—<00:18:15.128> for<00:18:15.849> us,<00:18:16.650> we<00:18:17.147> look<00:18:17.452> at<00:18:17.692> it<00:18:18.574> and<00:18:18.750> see<00:18:19.552> so<00:18:19.937> many<00:18:20.193> different<00:18:20.594> ways<00:18:21.331> from<00:18:22.437> actual<00:18:23.239> construction<00:18:23.960> of<00:18:24.345> our<00:18:24.682> vehicles<00:18:25.082> and<00:18:25.163> what<00:18:25.323> we're<00:18:25.483> doing<00:18:26.124> to<00:18:26.605> best<00:18:26.846> pathways<00:18:27.888> to<00:18:28.032> flying,<00:18:29.090> to<00:18:30.453> getting<00:18:30.853> the<00:18:31.078> call<00:18:31.559> in<00:18:31.959> and<00:18:32.376> streamlining<00:18:33.739> the<00:18:33.899> types<00:18:34.460> of<00:18:34.765> help<00:18:35.827> that<00:18:37.021> are<00:18:37.118> needed<00:18:38.232> and<00:18:38.797> to<00:18:39.055> get<00:18:39.281> it<00:18:39.701> to<00:18:40.008> the<00:18:40.105> people<00:18:40.411> who<00:18:40.444> need<00:18:40.734> it<00:18:41.057> as<00:18:41.154> soon<00:18:41.396> as<00:18:41.477> possible.

00:18:42.510 --> 00:18:47.609
And<00:18:42.607> that's<00:18:43.011> all<00:18:43.254> really,<00:18:43.497> you<00:18:43.837> know,<00:18:44.242> these<00:18:44.549> are,<00:18:45.051> these<00:18:45.278> are<00:18:45.375> things<00:18:45.618> that<00:18:45.925> we<00:18:46.573> and<00:18:46.654> our<00:18:46.816> teams<00:18:47.156> work<00:18:47.463> on.

00:18:48.111 --> 00:18:54.202
But<00:18:48.775> there's<00:18:49.098> also<00:18:49.665> a<00:18:49.908> ton<00:18:50.377> of<00:18:50.539> innovation<00:18:51.186> happening<00:18:52.234> around<00:18:52.880> us<00:18:53.218> in<00:18:53.315> our<00:18:53.476> sphere,<00:18:54.008> right?

00:18:54.653 --> 00:19:04.698
Our<00:18:54.976> competition<00:18:55.718> is<00:18:55.879> not<00:18:56.766> specifically<00:18:57.975> concerned<00:18:59.094> with<00:19:01.144> how<00:19:01.324> those<00:19:01.652> first<00:19:02.242> response<00:19:02.868> calls<00:19:03.366> are<00:19:03.606> routed<00:19:04.249> or<00:19:04.329> anything.

00:19:04.811 --> 00:19:08.745
And<00:19:04.971> yet<00:19:05.292> there's<00:19:05.533> tons<00:19:05.935> of<00:19:06.159> work<00:19:06.416> going<00:19:06.882> on<00:19:07.605> in<00:19:07.861> that<00:19:08.183> area.

00:19:09.146 --> 00:19:42.285
Another<00:19:09.772> interesting<00:19:10.992> area<00:19:11.474> that<00:19:11.635> is<00:19:11.876> being<00:19:12.277> worked<00:19:12.582> on<00:19:12.759> as<00:19:12.919> well<00:19:13.786> is<00:19:15.312> using<00:19:15.713> drones<00:19:16.131> and<00:19:16.371> other<00:19:16.612> emergency<00:19:17.238> response<00:19:17.993> flyers<00:19:18.619> for<00:19:20.129> triage,<00:19:20.867> for,<00:19:22.232> you<00:19:22.714> know,<00:19:23.179> if<00:19:23.998> people<00:19:24.303> are<00:19:24.865> hurt,<00:19:25.668> if<00:19:25.765> there's<00:19:26.005> a<00:19:26.021> natural<00:19:26.407> disaster,<00:19:27.772> to<00:19:28.012> be,<00:19:28.172> if<00:19:28.413> you<00:19:28.557> can't<00:19:28.958> get<00:19:29.199> there<00:19:29.920> immediately<00:19:30.642> with<00:19:30.883> people,<00:19:31.364> to<00:19:31.701> at<00:19:32.005> least<00:19:33.481> send<00:19:34.250> out<00:19:35.132> drones<00:19:35.469> that<00:19:35.694> can<00:19:35.870> sense<00:19:36.977> respiration<00:19:38.019> and<00:19:38.115> if<00:19:38.340> there's<00:19:38.596> bleeding<00:19:39.382> and<00:19:39.783> if<00:19:40.601> there<00:19:40.761> are<00:19:40.841> broken<00:19:41.323> bones<00:19:41.691> and<00:19:41.788> all<00:19:41.964> of<00:19:42.044> that.

00:19:42.541 --> 00:19:50.544
So<00:19:42.750> when<00:19:42.910> you<00:19:42.990> finally<00:19:43.471> have<00:19:43.872> people<00:19:44.289> who<00:19:44.450> can<00:19:44.770> get<00:19:45.091> there,<00:19:46.214> they<00:19:46.535> know<00:19:47.256> who<00:19:47.577> to<00:19:47.898> go<00:19:48.283> to<00:19:49.084> and<00:19:49.485> in<00:19:49.822> what<00:19:50.207> order.

00:19:50.848 --> 00:20:06.094
And<00:19:50.945> that's<00:19:51.490> also<00:19:52.211> a<00:19:52.404> phenomenal<00:19:53.414> way<00:19:54.138> of<00:19:54.380> integrating,<00:19:55.287> you<00:19:55.384> know,<00:19:55.611> obviously<00:19:56.000> there<00:19:56.323> are<00:19:56.647> AI<00:19:56.906> aspects<00:19:57.230> of<00:19:57.311> it,<00:19:57.392> but<00:19:57.489> there<00:19:57.586> are<00:19:57.635> things<00:19:57.861> having<00:19:58.282> nothing<00:19:58.606> to<00:19:58.752> do<00:19:58.865> with<00:19:59.076> AI<00:19:59.416> in<00:19:59.562> what—<00:20:00.308> in<00:20:01.750> the<00:20:03.695> scenario<00:20:04.765> that<00:20:04.927> I've<00:20:05.235> just<00:20:05.494> presented.

00:20:06.531 --> 00:20:17.652
But<00:20:08.871> what<00:20:09.032> you<00:20:09.129> were<00:20:09.210> saying,<00:20:09.435> and<00:20:09.516> I<00:20:09.548> said<00:20:09.855> it<00:20:10.000> before,<00:20:10.725> we<00:20:11.064> really<00:20:11.612> are<00:20:11.870> having<00:20:12.596> this<00:20:13.547> golden<00:20:13.886> age<00:20:14.063> of<00:20:14.192> aviation<00:20:14.774> and<00:20:14.872> frankly<00:20:16.066> of<00:20:16.900> technology.

00:20:18.126 --> 00:20:29.799
We<00:20:18.289> are<00:20:18.535> just<00:20:18.943> at<00:20:19.172> the<00:20:19.726> early<00:20:19.983> stages<00:20:20.690> of<00:20:20.931> this,<00:20:21.750> but<00:20:22.136> there<00:20:22.313> is<00:20:22.473> so<00:20:23.036> much<00:20:24.000> that<00:20:24.401> we<00:20:24.723> can<00:20:25.124> do<00:20:25.912> when<00:20:26.088> we<00:20:26.249> harness<00:20:26.972> this<00:20:27.293> technology,<00:20:28.482> old<00:20:28.996> technology,<00:20:29.607> right?

00:20:29.848 --> 00:20:37.350
We<00:20:29.928> talked<00:20:30.073> about<00:20:30.265> an<00:20:30.426> integration<00:20:31.053> challenge<00:20:31.775> and<00:20:32.193> new<00:20:32.498> technology<00:20:33.543> to<00:20:33.703> really<00:20:34.041> better<00:20:34.298> the<00:20:34.378> lives<00:20:34.908> of<00:20:35.551> everyone<00:20:36.916> around.

00:20:37.575 --> 00:20:39.632
What<00:20:37.720> kind<00:20:37.896> of<00:20:38.057> legacy<00:20:38.603> do<00:20:38.636> you<00:20:38.764> want<00:20:38.860> to<00:20:38.957> leave<00:20:39.182> behind?

00:20:40.949 --> 00:20:41.833
In<00:20:41.110> what<00:20:41.431> area?

00:20:41.913 --> 00:20:44.612
My<00:20:42.138> goodness,<00:20:42.797> there's<00:20:43.038> so<00:20:43.134> many<00:20:44.259> things.

00:20:45.030 --> 00:20:46.106
You<00:20:45.287> know<00:20:46.010> me.

00:20:46.815 --> 00:21:05.214
My<00:20:47.365> dad<00:20:48.675> lives<00:20:48.999> by<00:20:49.322> this<00:20:49.646> philosophy<00:20:53.285> that<00:20:55.866> whatever<00:20:56.495> room<00:20:56.737> he<00:20:56.979> walks<00:20:57.398> into,<00:20:58.124> he<00:20:58.914> always<00:20:59.252> tries<00:20:59.720> to<00:20:59.833> leave<00:21:00.526> it<00:21:01.332> better<00:21:02.862> than<00:21:03.507> when<00:21:04.505> he<00:21:05.037> came.

00:21:05.842 --> 00:21:15.625
And<00:21:05.939> so<00:21:06.261> that's<00:21:07.227> whether<00:21:07.469> it's<00:21:07.775> one<00:21:08.032> person<00:21:08.435> in<00:21:08.580> the<00:21:08.741> room<00:21:09.627> or<00:21:09.820> speaking<00:21:10.287> to<00:21:10.448> lots<00:21:10.770> of<00:21:10.980> people,<00:21:11.257> whatever,<00:21:11.811> whether<00:21:12.071> it's<00:21:12.234> in<00:21:12.332> a<00:21:12.365> business<00:21:13.555> setting<00:21:14.418> or<00:21:14.516> in<00:21:14.663> a<00:21:14.826> personal<00:21:15.119> setting.

00:21:18.392 --> 00:21:29.903
And<00:21:18.653> I<00:21:18.784> think<00:21:19.926> to<00:21:20.171> an<00:21:20.350> extent,<00:21:22.480> that's<00:21:22.657> what<00:21:22.754> we're<00:21:22.916> trying<00:21:23.240> to<00:21:23.401> do<00:21:23.644> with<00:21:23.870> Go<00:21:24.113> Arrow,<00:21:25.164> to<00:21:25.261> leave<00:21:25.908> the<00:21:26.134> world,<00:21:26.636> the<00:21:26.862> room,<00:21:27.283> whatever,<00:21:27.913> just<00:21:28.722> a<00:21:28.738> little<00:21:29.288> bit<00:21:29.547> better.

00:21:30.355 --> 00:21:41.606
There's—<00:21:31.083> boy,<00:21:31.568> when<00:21:31.795> we<00:21:31.972> harness<00:21:32.600> technology<00:21:33.180> and<00:21:33.341> the<00:21:33.421> positive<00:21:34.130> energy<00:21:34.549> and<00:21:34.710> goodwill,<00:21:35.595> there's<00:21:36.159> kind<00:21:36.400> of—<00:21:38.639> it's<00:21:38.816> the<00:21:38.977> right<00:21:39.299> thing<00:21:39.460> to<00:21:39.621> do<00:21:40.249> and<00:21:40.587> it's<00:21:40.732> something<00:21:40.990> that<00:21:41.215> we<00:21:41.312> all<00:21:41.475> need.

00:21:41.981 --> 00:21:59.606
So<00:21:43.024> I<00:21:43.187> guess<00:21:43.660> the<00:21:43.839> legacy<00:21:44.720> is<00:21:46.213> to<00:21:46.294> leave<00:21:46.535> the<00:21:46.680> world<00:21:46.937> a<00:21:47.017> little<00:21:47.258> bit<00:21:47.419> better<00:21:49.171> and<00:21:49.412> to<00:21:49.974> ease<00:21:50.135> people's<00:21:50.698> burdens<00:21:51.421> and<00:21:51.678> to,<00:21:54.008> to<00:21:54.105> make<00:21:54.394> sure<00:21:54.700> that<00:21:55.877> nobody<00:21:56.270> has<00:21:56.531> to<00:21:56.629> say,<00:21:57.087> please<00:21:57.447> move,<00:21:57.921> please<00:21:58.396> move<00:21:58.756> in<00:21:58.903> a<00:21:58.984> car<00:21:59.312> again.

00:22:00.100 --> 00:22:03.001
Clearly,<00:22:00.375> my<00:22:00.602> dad<00:22:00.845> got<00:22:01.023> to<00:22:01.121> the<00:22:01.250> hospital<00:22:01.672> on<00:22:01.834> time<00:22:02.223> and<00:22:02.385> all<00:22:02.563> was<00:22:02.790> well.

00:22:03.600 --> 00:22:05.837
But,<00:22:04.735> you<00:22:04.800> know,<00:22:04.994> it's<00:22:05.124> happening<00:22:05.480> right<00:22:05.707> now.

00:22:06.194 --> 00:22:08.625
Nobody—<00:22:06.923> we'll<00:22:07.506> all<00:22:07.749> be<00:22:07.912> in<00:22:07.993> those<00:22:08.171> situations.

00:22:09.473 --> 00:22:17.582
But<00:22:10.291> let's<00:22:10.536> at<00:22:10.634> least<00:22:11.043> give<00:22:11.288> everyone<00:22:11.844> the<00:22:12.024> tools<00:22:12.597> and<00:22:12.744> the<00:22:12.907> technology<00:22:13.578> that<00:22:13.742> they<00:22:13.905> need<00:22:14.627> to<00:22:14.691> have<00:22:14.884> the<00:22:15.028> best<00:22:15.430> outcome<00:22:16.635> within<00:22:16.956> those<00:22:17.068> situations.

00:22:17.775 --> 00:22:17.839
Yeah.

00:22:17.936 --> 00:22:26.948
Finally,<00:22:18.418> we<00:22:18.659> end<00:22:18.964> every<00:22:19.141> interview<00:22:19.462> with<00:22:19.607> the<00:22:19.687> same<00:22:19.944> question,<00:22:20.667> and<00:22:20.811> that<00:22:21.052> is<00:22:21.229> at<00:22:21.309> CEO.com,<00:22:22.257> we<00:22:22.434> believe<00:22:22.739> the<00:22:22.836> chances<00:22:23.301> one<00:22:23.558> gives<00:22:24.683> is<00:22:24.908> just<00:22:25.165> as<00:22:25.245> important<00:22:25.631> as<00:22:25.727> the<00:22:25.807> chances<00:22:26.273> one<00:22:26.450> takes.

00:22:27.494 --> 00:22:30.466
When<00:22:27.735> you<00:22:27.960> hear<00:22:28.201> that,<00:22:28.442> who<00:22:28.619> gave<00:22:28.844> you<00:22:28.940> a<00:22:29.004> chance<00:22:29.261> to<00:22:29.406> get<00:22:29.518> you<00:22:29.647> to<00:22:29.727> where<00:22:29.888> you<00:22:30.048> are<00:22:30.145> today?

00:22:31.350 --> 00:22:34.466
I<00:22:31.832> don't<00:22:32.779> think<00:22:32.876> we<00:22:33.036> have<00:22:33.197> time<00:22:33.840> for<00:22:34.065> that.

00:22:35.205 --> 00:22:41.133
I've<00:22:35.350> mentioned,<00:22:36.024> you<00:22:36.105> know,<00:22:36.410> the<00:22:36.651> executives<00:22:37.294> that<00:22:37.438> are<00:22:37.759> our<00:22:37.936> partners<00:22:38.804> and<00:22:39.446> met<00:22:39.784> at<00:22:39.864> NASA<00:22:40.249> and<00:22:40.731> all<00:22:40.828> of<00:22:40.988> that.

00:22:41.936 --> 00:22:45.902
They<00:22:42.257> were<00:22:42.980> instrumental<00:22:43.863> to<00:22:44.023> getting<00:22:44.361> Go<00:22:44.585> Aero<00:22:44.987> to<00:22:45.164> where<00:22:45.388> they<00:22:45.629> are.

00:22:46.914 --> 00:22:48.150
Who<00:22:47.090> gave<00:22:47.652> me<00:22:47.797> the<00:22:47.893> chance?

00:22:48.278 --> 00:23:00.915
Oh,<00:22:48.519> I<00:22:48.616> mean,<00:22:48.937> like<00:22:49.162> I<00:22:49.258> told<00:22:49.499> you,<00:22:49.740> you<00:22:49.836> know,<00:22:49.916> my<00:22:50.141> dad's<00:22:50.526> philosophy,<00:22:51.088> my,<00:22:51.490> my<00:22:51.650> mom<00:22:52.533> made<00:22:52.774> us<00:22:53.288> strong<00:22:54.155> and,<00:22:54.862> you<00:22:54.974> know,<00:22:55.456> felt<00:22:56.066> like<00:22:56.307> we<00:22:56.467> could<00:22:56.708> actually<00:22:57.142> say,<00:22:57.447> okay,<00:22:58.153> we're<00:22:58.266> going<00:22:58.362> to<00:22:58.507> build<00:22:58.747> a<00:22:58.812> community<00:22:59.293> and<00:22:59.454> make<00:22:59.679> emergency<00:23:00.192> response<00:23:00.642> flyers.
