Economy, planet, markets and you

We are a mobile species. With the exponential development of transportation technologies and modes over the past centuries, we can now travel faster and further than ever before. But how will the world of transportation evolve by 2050? Will autonomous cars powered by AI and hyperloops with pods reaching speeds of 1000 km/h replace human drivers?

In this new episode of 2050 Investors, Kokou Agbo-Bloua wonders if we could really design a more sustainable way of getting around and contemplate a carbon-free future of transportation. He also asks John Saffrett, ALD Automotive’s Deputy Chief Executive Officer, to share his perspective on mobility and the way car manufacturer have to adapt.
