Sly Majid is Public Policy and Government Relations Manager at Argo AI (now part of Ford’s Latitude AI), where he works with state legislatures, governors’ offices, and city leaders nationwide to craft forward-thinking policies that enable the safe, equitable deployment of autonomous vehicles while protecting and enhancing pedestrian and bicycle networks. By building coalitions between technology innovators and transportation officials, Sly helps ensure that emerging mobility solutions reinforce Vision Zero goals, support first- and last-mile active transportation connections, and deliver broader access to jobs, services, and opportunity. A 2004 graduate of The University of Texas at Austin with a degree in Government, Sly previously served as Chief Service Officer for the City of Austin under Mayor Steve Adler, leading citywide innovation, performance management, and community-engagement initiatives that advanced mobility, sustainability, and equity priorities. His deep public-sector experience, combined with a proven ability to bridge government and industry, makes him a respected voice on how autonomous and shared-mobility systems can complement human-scale streets and create safer, more inclusive cities for everyone.
