If you Google Alex or feed him into the AI machine, you'll probably see that he's got lots of different things that he's done.

Best known perhaps as the

Godfather of the modern cannonball run.

We'll talk about that.

He has set numerous transcontinental driving records.

Most recently, the first ever fully autonomous zero intervention cross-country record.

I went in AI and I had a big fight with it about Alex because I was like, let's define Alex because Alex should be the subject of miniseries, novellas, telenovelas.

I've been a tech entrepreneur, underground endurance racer.

best-selling author, EV record setter, autonomy, and mobility commentator.

Yeah, you're like a modern-day Thomas Jefferson meets Burt Reynolds.

That's how I think of you.

That's too kind.

Just talk about these races that you've done, record-breaking competitions.

What is it involved, and why are you so into it?

How many times have you driven from New York to L.A.

in this kind of competitive way?

At least 20 times.

At least 20.

And who monitors it?

Like there's no sanctioning body.
