Our guest today is Tim Varecka. Tim is the Director of Engineering and has been developing technology solutions for his entire career. Before joining Cyngn, he was in charge of new product development for Hexagon, an organization focused on the digital transformation of the mining industry. Now, at Cyngn, he takes his experience developing products for mining even further by helping mining operations integrate advanced autonomous systems into the vehicles they already own.

In this conversation, we’ll be talking about the intersection of autonomous vehicles and mining, diving into its unique challenges and possibilities — and exploring how AV technology development in this space is a far different animal.
