Near-term sustainability goals focus on eliminating greenhouse gases (GHGs). Transportation is a major contributor to GHGs, and sustainability requires eliminating petroleum and fossil fuels used for vehicle electrification.
To effectively guide that action, this talk envisions how sustainable transportation improves business as usual. The present paradigm of wasting energy on a 4000-pound vehicle to haul one or two people is unsustainable.
The future requires going beyond bike share, automated automobiles, and automated transit networks. When these technologies are merged, small, choreographed pods could end congestion.
People move faster and at lower economic and energy costs, and freight can be moved more efficiently. A key to efficient energy use for passengers and freight is to make the vehicles lighter than the load.
Light vehicles require fewer batteries, which benefits the grid.
