The Road Ahead: Driverless Cities
Published on Dec 2, 2014
While visions of self-driving vehicles have been the providence of science fiction, the attention of many has been captured by recent examples like the DARPA Challenge and the Google Self-Driving Car. Tesla’s Autopilot features get that company’s offerings to near self-driving to consumers in the coming months, and the State of California has begun offering licenses to “drivers” of au- tonomous vehicles. Unanswered, however, are the questions of regulation and safety. This session seeks to tease out the larger, societal implications of the technology to understand the truer nature of the “self-driving future”.

The Road Ahead: Data Driven Mobility
Published on Dec 2, 2014
Urban spaces are creating an unprecedented amount of data, from mobile phone data about individuals to the traces created automatically from machine-to-machine interactions. This session seeks to explore how the ubiquity of “big data” and increasing prevalence of situated technology is changing how decisions are made about policy, urban planning, and citizen behavior with respect to mobility.
