GUESTS: Dan Sturges and Lukas NeckermannABOUT THIS EPISODELifelong car fan and vehicle designer Dan Sturges discusses his new book, ‘Near to Far: A design for a new equitable and sustainable transportation system'. The book is both the culmination of a life in vehicle design and the automotive industry, and something a manifesto for the future of mobility.You'll note the reference to Dan being a car fan, but not a petrolhead, for reasons that will become clear.The list of organisations which he has worked is long; a transportation designer, entrepreneur, and educator, his career started as an automobile designer at General Motors, and has since included time at, among others, ITS at UC Davis, GEM cars, Segway, Calstart, IntraGO, Local Motors, Acorn Delivery, and the US Transportation Research Board committee for New Public Transportation Systems and Technology.Dan has become increasingly disillusioned by the increase not just in the number of vehicles on the road, but also the size of those vehicles, many of which are disproportionately large for everyday use. And it's that term, everyday use, which Dan seeks to address in his book. The references to vehicle size here lean towards what's offered to North American buyers, but even in Europe, it's difficult to think of a vehicle that got smaller from one generation to the next.In this episode, Dan talks about how you can be a mobility advocate and a car fan – they're not mutually exclusive; how car designers can help in the transition from ownership to usership; and why the transition is impossible without a holistic mobility ecosystem that incorporates new vehicles, new infrastructure, and new business models.Also on this episode is Lukas Neckermann, of Neckermann Strategic Advisors – Lukas is, as many listeners will know, a major advocate of urban mobility, and like Dan, has a background in the automotive industry.EPISODE NOTESYou can learn more about Dan's book - Near to Far: A design for a new equitable and sustainable transportation system - by following this link, and by checking local Amazon stores for availability.ABOUT THE GUESTSDan SturgesDan is a mobility designer, educator, and entrepreneur.

On this episode of the #FromTheShadowsPodcast, the crew is excited to bring to you an interview that we had with actor Dan Sturges. A curiosity in Parapsychology and an interest in Civil War history led Dan to researching haunted battlefield locations. His research into investigative techniques and equipment along with his research into hauntings and the many theories behind them combined with a levelheaded approach has made Dan one of the more popular media consultants in the tri-state area. Dan Sturges performs paranormal investigations with his group Sturges Paranormal. Sturges Paranormal is one of the only groups that has permission to investigate the Merchant’s House Museum located in New York City on a continual ongoing investigation. Dan Sturges is also on the hit TV series documentary entitled: “Paranormal Caught on Camera” where he is an on-camera expert. #sturgesparanormal #MyParanormal #DanSturges #ParanormalCaughtonCamera The From The Shadows Podcast is a program where we seriously discuss the supernatural, the paranormal, cryptozoology as well as ufology.
