The content presented in this course draws on a number of interviews and lectures and was created through a partnership with Siemens.
This course challenges learners to envision mobility of the future that is safer, cleaner, and more equitable. We will examine recent technological advances, as well as the socio-economic and policy implications, of two major evolving mobility-related technology spaces: electrification and automation.
