Transportation
Net Neutrality and the Driverless Future
Tech and transportation are now traveling the same (cellular) wavelength.
If you work in transportation and enjoy schmoozing, you made a tough choice this week. Do you hit sunny Las Vegas for the big annual Consumer Electronics Show, where self-driving, on-demand cars, smart streetlights, and flying taxis herald the future of mobility? Or do you kick it at the annual meeting of the Transportation Research Board in Washington, D.C., where thousands of academics, government officials, and policy influencers are debating how to get there? If you’re like CityLab, it’s TRB time.
(TRB is more fun than it sounds, by the way. The asphalt lobbyists supposedly throw a pretty sick afterparty.)
