Introduction
My name is Eugene Nishinaga. I am the founder and CEO of a software startup company that is developing control software for fixed guideway transportation systems like BART.
Are you a corporate practitioner, consultant, entrepreneur, or something else? Please tell us about yourself.
I am an entrepreneur currently founding a company to develop and market a control technology that will be an enabling technology for a future when our nation will go from being an auto-centric society to one that is transit-centric. I come from a long career of developing control technology for Boeing (7 yrs), SF BART (25 yrs), and most recently for CyberTran (4 yrs) during which I was their chief technology officer. With the control technology we are developing, future systems will be able to operate driverless vehicles with a vehicle to vehicle separation of under 9 seconds. With this capability, future BART-like systems will be able to use smaller cars and thus operate on much less expensive structures. In fact, studies indicate that BART-equivalent line capacities can be achieved for one quarter the cost. Since the rule of thumb for BART is $100 million a mile this is a $75 million per mile savings.
What 3 topics/people would you like to hear about/from?
I am trying to raise capital to launch our company. I would like to hear from potential investors looking for the next big thing in transportation technology.
Are you an SVForum member? If so, how long?
NO.
What Eugene Nishinaga is saying about this Meetup Group
I wish there were one in the North Bay. $25 is a bit pricy for those of us who are operating with no income while we are trying to launch our new ventures.
