SUMMARY:The Future of Transportation: Freeways or Flyways?
DESCRIPTION:The Future of Transportation\nFreeways or Flyways?\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Tuesday\, November 15\, 2016\n6:00 pm to 8:30 pm\n6:00 pm: Reception and networking\n7:00 pm: Panel discussion (with Q&A) \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Each day more and more commuters are affected by traffic jams in major metropolitan areas. Aging infrastructure\, population increases\, and demand for space on the road are all having a negative effect on commutes. As traffic congestion continues to grow\, so does the level of commuters’ frustration. Finally\, technological advances are catching up to visionary ideas that will solve commuters’ woes around the world — defining the future of transportation. \nInnovative startups\, established companies\, and transit authorities are in a race to bring new breakthroughs in transportation technology to market that could move us from freeways to flyways. Despite technical challenges and regulatory hurdles\, their ambitions have not been throttled.  \nWhich technology will lead — Hyperloop\, pilotless drones\, or flying cars? Venture capitalists are investing heavily in technology that they believe will disrupt the $1.7 trillion automotive industry\, which according to Scotiabank will sell over 75M vehicles this year alone. \n\nWhich innovation will become the de facto mode of transportation in the future?\nWhere are investors putting their money?\nWill the technology be accessible to all or just the wealthy?\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Moderator\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Dr. Ilan Kroo\, Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics\, Stanford University\, and Principal Scientist & Founding CEO\, Zee Aero \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Panelists\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Zach Lovering\, Chief Engineer\, A3 – Airbus \nAleksey Matushev.
