The Future of Mobility—Electric, Autonomous, and Shared Vehicles

IN September 2018, over 30 participants gathered at the Chicago Connectory to discuss the mobility revolution as part of The World Innovation Network (TWIN) Global, an annual gathering of innovation and growth leaders from across sectors and geographies. Participants included visionaries from inside and outside the transportation and energy sectors, with representatives from industry leaders such as the Ford Motor Company, Bosch, Exelon, and ConEdison, as well as other leading companies throughout multiple sectors, premier academic institutions, think tanks, incubators and investors all driving change in the mobility space. Through a combination of keynote perspectives, panel discussions, and collaborative breakouts, the diverse group of participants discussed the future of mobility and implications for climate change, clean and livable cities, the traditional utility power grid, and the changing regulatory landscape. The following is the first in a series of Technology Managers Notebook articles on insights and implications for managing technology and innovation in mobility that came from the session.
