Political Economy Podcast, Ep. 85: The End of Traffic
Description
Sponsored by Upside
The world is on its way to ending traffic, and that's in part thanks to the pioneering work of transportation researcher and thought leader David Levinson. In this episode, we discuss how autonomous vehicles and other breakthrough tech will affect the future of transportation, and how infrastructure policy can keep up with the coming changes. We also discuss whether America has reached peak car ownership, if human driving will be eventually banned, and if we are culturally ready for a driverless future.
David Levinson teaches at the School of Civil Engineering at the University of Sydney, he's an honorary affiliate of the Institute of Transport and Logistics Studies, and he serves as an adjunct faculty at the University of Minnesota.
