The Long Road to Autonomous Mobility

On this episode, we take a trip into the future with the Contra Costa Transportation Authority. Executive Director Randy Iwasaki, a Special Districts award winner, goes in depth on the strategy to bridge the first and last miles with new mobility options - including autonomous vehicles of all shapes and sizes. CCTA's closed track testing facility replicates real-world streets to help autonomous vehicles learn about how humans act, and help investigators learn how to adapt new mobility options to solve long standing problems. Iwasaki, an owner of a '57 Chevy, also reflects on how old cars fit into new mobility options.

Also on this episode, Bahadir (Baha) Koseli, the Lead Business Development Manager with Internet of Things – Fleet Solutions at AT&T Business, discusses VisionZero, a global initiative to eliminate traffic deaths.
