Michael Wagner Email & Phone Number

Michael Wagner has been at the forefront of the autonomy industry for over twenty years. Michael’s career began at Carnegie Mellon University where he developed planetary rovers for NASA, then expanding his focus to defense applications. During this time he witnessed autonomy commercializing rapidly, but realized that safety engineering techniques weren’t keeping up. As a result, today developers can demonstrate cars navigating highways comfortably without human intervention, but few can say whether their autonomy technology is safe enough for wide-scale deployment. Solving this problem has been the focus of Michael’s career since 2006. He began major R&D efforts at Carnegie Mellon to understand how automation could be applied to autonomy validation. Seizing developing commercial opportunities in self-driving cars, he founded Edge Case Research in 2014. Under Michael’s leadership the company has grown substantially, becoming a global safety data and analytics company. Edge Case provides risk management and insurance solutions for developers and operators of autonomous vehicles in commercial and defense markets.

Listed skills include Robotics, Software Engineering, Embedded Systems, Testing, and 29 others.
