Climate change. Overcrowded streets. Pollution-choked skies. These are a few of the very real problems our current urban transportation infrastructure presents. But the media—and most experts — tend to immediately offer electric cars and self-driving vehicles as comprehensive solutions to these complex issues. In this podcast, host Ross Douglas takes a different tack. He speaks with social entrepreneurs, advertising executives, social scientists, wearable technology inventors, and artificial intelligence experts to reveal the actual (and often counterintuitive) causes of our deepest urban mobility challenges. He gets beyond the buzz to get to the bottom of how we can solve them.
