You can no longer have a conversation about next generation transportation or intelligent transportation without talking about drones. Where will they operate? What are the right-of-way issues?

John Ellis, the author of The Zero Dollar Car, joins Regina Hopper in this edition of POLICYSMART to take a look at the future.

The worlds of transportation, telecom and vehicle manufacturing are coming together on many levels as connected vehicles and vehicle to infrastructure communications becomes a reality.

The concept of privacy as a product—where the buyer of a product “opts out” of data collection for a price—is the subject of the new book “The Zero Dollar Car.”  The author, John Ellis (www.johntellis.com), talks about how we are no longer a “ship and forget” environment and what that means for transportation in an increasingly connected mobility world. Regina Hopper, GRIDSMART Technologies’ SVP of Global Public Policy, talks with John about the interesting new vocabulary and privacy questions intelligent transportation is creating.

What is intelligent transportation? Who are the people behind it? What are the public policy issues that will drive more adoption of both the technologies and the money needed to deploy it?

POLICYSMART facilitates a direct, honest, and thought-provoking look at the ideas, policy, products, and people behind the next generation of transportation.
