Oct 08, 2017

We caught up with Alex Kendall, an ex-pat Kiwi currently living in Cambridge, UK, where he’s a research fellow Trinity College finishing off a PhD in computer vision and robotics.

Alex is blending his research into a business with the launch of Wayve.ai. In this interview, you’ll hear about Alex’s path into the cutting edge of computer science, learn about what machine vision really is and how has accelerated development in fields such as Autonomous driving.

Alex also drops a few gems for founders back home in New Zealand, and predictions about the future of the industry.

Big thanks to David Gawith for the original introduction to Alex!

Around 20% of New Zealanders live outside of New Zealand. This is our “Diaspora” — and it’s one of the world’s largest, per capita.

Not only is it large, it's insanely talented… early in their lives and careers, many of New Zealand’s most ambitious individuals realise— if they want to make a dent in the universe, they need to get out there… to study abroad, get the experience, build relationships to help them win on a global stage.

Today, those estimated ~1M expats include some of our finest talent. They are founders, top operators/execs at industry leading companies. They are scientists and researchers working at the frontiers of science: artificial intelligence, synthetic biology; global leaders in business, culture, and society… entrenched in all corners of the world, walks of live… largely “heads down”, doing their thing.
