Short bio (~100 words)

Ross D. Blankenship is a technology entrepreneur and inventor working at the intersection of real estate, mobility, and AI infrastructure. He founded Wins Parking, a commercial parking operator in Colorado, and Recharged America — a corridor-scale platform combining EV fast charging, autonomous-vehicle infrastructure, hospitality, grid-scale storage, and express car wash into stacked-use sites along the American interstate. He is the architect of Park Graph, an AI protocol layer connecting parking and curb infrastructure to autonomous agents and navigation engines (often called “Stripe for Parking”), and the creator of ChargingNear.me. A Cornell University graduate and Washington University School of Law alumnus, his patent portfolio includes ASCAV and AVIM — foundational technologies for how autonomous vehicles authenticate, navigate, and transact with the built environment. He is the author of the Intelligent Ownership Trilogy, beginning with Automate. Launch. Retire., and is focused on helping business owners use AI to strengthen their companies, create efficiencies, and drive greater profits. He is available for expert commentary, typically same-day.

Topics I provide expert commentary on

Clear, quotable perspective on the stories where software meets the physical world. Each topic comes with concrete examples and plain-language framing for general audiences.

🤖

AI agents & accountability

Who is responsible when an autonomous AI agent makes a costly decision — liability, oversight, the human-review rule, and the “agent of record.”

🏠

AI in real estate

How AI is changing underwriting, operations, pricing, and decision support across property and proptech — and where the hype outruns reality.

EV & AV infrastructure

The economics of EV charging and autonomous-vehicle corridors, site design, dwell time, and the build-out of networks like the I-70 mountain corridor.

🅿️

Parking technology

Why parking is becoming software — access, reservations, enforcement, monetization, and the digital operating layer of parking assets.

🏗️

Proptech

Where real estate technology is genuinely heading: software-defined physical assets, yield, and turning land into a smarter revenue platform.

🛡️

Vehicle safety & trust systems

Patent-backed perspective on vehicle safety, communication, and the trust and identity systems that make real-world platforms credible.

Why editors trust the source

A background that combines law, invention, and operating experience — useful for stories that need both technical depth and real-world operating nuance.
