Pallets may be the unseen backbone of global commerce, but moving them remains slow, fragmented, and tied to congested ground routes. Traverse Aero, led by founder and CEO Scott Parker, is redefining this system with autonomous air transport designed specifically for pallet distribution—enabling faster, more flexible, and resilient point-to-point movement through the air. In this SV Unplugged Tech Talk segment, Parker outlined a practical engineering pathway for making this vision real, offering a compelling look at how autonomous pallet aviation could transform modern supply chains.
As AI saturates headlines and portfolios, the smartest investors are already looking beyond it. The question is no longer whether AI will transform the world — it’s what comes after.

In this episode of SV Up (Silicon Valley Unplugged), filmed live in Palo Alto, we bring together experts and innovators for candid conversations about how AI will reshape K-12 and higher education, the future of college admissions in an algorithm-driven world, the lifelong skills that truly matter in an AI economy, and the creativity, innovation, and human edge that machines can never replace.
In this fast paced episode of Silicon Valley Unplugged, we take you inside the world of FPV drone racing — where high speed machines and elite pilots push the limits of innovation and adrenaline. Meet Bay Area champions as they break down what it takes to compete, what’s driving the growth of this emerging sport, and how drone tech is evolving at lightning speed. Glimpse into the future of drone racing.
The festival showcased 14 finalist short films—half created by traditional filmmakers, half generated by AI — all judged blindly by a prestigious international jury with no knowledge of the creators’ identities. The result sparked the question: Can AI tell stories that feel more human than those made by humans?
