ROTARY LUNCHEON: Rachel Kamen, Autonomous Transport and Why San Francisco is the best test case

Rachel Kamen will speak on autonomous transport and why San Francisco is the best test case.

Rachel Kamen is on the Waymo Public Affairs team and focuses on community partnerships in the San Francisco Bay Area. With years of leadership experience in both the public and private sectors, Rachel works to build impactful partnerships that create safer, more accessible, and equitable communities. Originally from Ontario, Canada, Rachel relocated to San Francisco to pursue a meaningful career, be close to both the mountains and the coast, and to escape the winter! Rachel is a proud San Franciscan of over 16 years and enjoys running, biking, hiking and delicious food of all varieties.

Waymo is an autonomous driving technology company with the mission to make it safe and easy for people and things to get where they’re going. Founded in the Bay Area, Waymo is proud to partner with 70+ local nonprofits that share their mission of saving lives, improving independence, and creating new mobility options for people who cannot drive. Waymo is committed to serving the communities in which they operate and they are excited for the opportunity to connect with the Rotary Club of San Francisco. Learn more at waymo.com.
