Posawatz has been ahead of the curve for more than a decade, so his arrival at Renovo indicates that the California company, founded in 2008, could be preparing to attack the next big transportation opportunity .

But managing that deluge is the classic"drinking from a firehose" problem.

To simplify, the company's systems are sort of like application program interfaces for autonomous vehicles and the data they crank out.
