Whistlecars and Robocars Will Save the Planet
February 3rd, 2009 Posted in FuturismRobocars can change how we live and work, change our cities, change manufacturing, housing. Crucially in today’s world, they also have the potential to make serious inroads on our energy and emissions problems. This talk by Brad Templeton, chairman of the board of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, discusses both the merits and downsides of robocars, potential paths to get there, roadblocks along the way and what the world of robocars will be like.
This is one of several videos I filmed for the organizers of Convergence08, which can be found in the unconference vimeo folder. More to come, including three technology panels and a keynote by Paul Saffo.
