It’s projected that by 2050 more than 60% of the world’s population will live in cities. Yet public transportation remains one of the biggest challenges for cities like New York, DC, and Los Angeles. As we look forward to a more urbanized world, how will we cope with the population’s transportation needs? Alex and Ben discuss the nuances of autonomous cars and the lingering issues that exist (like how these cars can’t properly “see” Black people when avoiding pedestrians) as well as what the future of cities might look like. Looking beyond the current technological advances of self-driving cars and public transportation band-aids, when will our society shift from the question of “what’s good for me?” to a larger perspective of “what’s good for us?” Our hosts dream of a more collaborative world where the leaders of these decisions are focused on building the best world for our community at large.
