The Big Idea Box

Your favorite cast take a look into the future of transportation! In this episode, we tackle a steady shift towards autonomous transportation implemented by law in 2017 as the Self Drive Act. Today, more than ever, we have so many inexpensive options that make up the shared economy with cars, scooters, mopeds, and bikes available to loan almost anywhere in the city. How will we be able to commute or transport goods in 2040? or 2050?

In this episode, Tami, Rachael, Bryant and Sebastian dig deeper to discuss how these transitions affect various industries, safety, provide alternative options, and require a shift in our mindset.
