Are We Even Doing the Right Things on Transport (Kelly McGuinness, Hunter College)

My next guest is a true expert on all things Transportation.

Kelly McGuiness is Director of the Sam Schwartz Transportation Research Program at the Roosevelt Public Policy Institute at Hunter College New York where she works as the right hand to the peerless sage of the road Sam Schwartz.

I had a hard time deciding on a topic for her since Kelly is truly one of the deepest minds focused on not just commercialization but the societal impacts of Transport, Technology and Commerce. And so we decided on a rather philosophical discussion of - Are we even doing the right thing?

We talk:

• Do the best Economies have the best Transport?
• Is job protection the right mandate against technology disruption?
• What have we learnt on congestion from ridehailing?
• Where should the common man be skeptical about promises on safety?
• Who wins an AV arms race?
