Greg Rogers is the Public Policy Manager at Nuro, a company
focused on unlocking the benefits of robotics for everyday life. In
2017, Greg co-founded
The Mobility Podcast, a podcast that explores the intersections
between transportation, technology, and policy. In the same year,
Greg co-founded Connected CarTalkDC, a network of hundreds of
transportation and technology professionals who meet regularly in
Washington, DC.
Before joining Nuro, Greg was the Director of Government Affairs
and Mobility Innovation at Securing America’s Future Energy (SAFE).
He specializes in federal and state policies around autonomous
vehicles, electric vehicles, and emerging technology. He was
previously the Assistant Editor of Eno Transportation Weekly (ETW)
and a Senior Policy Analyst at the Eno Center for Transportation,
where he reported on transportation policy developments in
Congress, the Administration, and state legislatures.
Greg previously worked on both sides of the aisle in the House of
Representatives, represented public and private sector clients
before Congress and federal agencies for government affairs firms,
and helped guide POLITICO Pro’s expansion into federal and
state government markets.
A burgeoning interest in transportation technology led Greg to make
a career pivot several years ago. He left behind a career as a
government affairs consultant and became an Uber/Lyft driver in
order to develop first-hand experience in new mobility. This
inspired him to co-found The Autonomer, a news website focused
on automation and transportation policy issues, in 2015.
Greg received his B.A. in Political Economy from the
University of California at Berkeley and studied Political Science
at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark.
His insights and recommendations for developing sound autonomous
vehicle policies have appeared in outlets including Washington
Post, WIRED, The Autonocast, Car and Driver, The Verge, and
testimonies before Congress.
