First, all future cars, boats and trains on the planet will have to be electric and supported by a robust industry.
Second, batteries that power these cars, boats and trains must be charged only with renewable energy sources.
Third, the big data must be used to create safer roads and safer driving experiences for all.
Fourth, shared vehicles with families, friends and colleagues traveling together should replace today’s idea of mobility, which has a huge impact on traffic, pollution and costs.
