Technology: See Teslas In Tunnels, Skating Under The Traffic (Video)
October 4, 2017
Crazy… like a genius. Yep, real-life Tony Stark (you know, billionaire tech futurist Elon Musk) leaving President Trump’s advisory cabal has left him with more time/energy to put into going to, landing on & living on Mars… making super-cool cars that come when you call them & drive themselves…
Now, we know that we can reduce traffic glut & stress (on people and our environment) if we relied more on high-tech, mass transit, or some combo of the two. But we LOVE being in our own cars (e.g. our own personal travel spaces). So how about this: Musk’s new tunneling business, Boring Company (‘boring’ like ‘drilling’), instead of pushing people onto buses and trains, is trying to make it possible to get our CARS on board. Watch the clip above. See how Musk can help sweep up the traffic mess, while allowing cars to hop on ‘skates’ and sweep past traffic, UNDERGROUND in a tunnel.

Mercedes-Benz Believes The Future Of Transportation Is In Vans (Video)
April 6, 2017
Sounds like what General Motors did with Saturn. A huge car-making corporation generating an innovative vehicle manufacturing process as a ‘startup’ that starts within. But Saturn was pretty much its own company. This Mercedes move is internal entreprenuership; bringing in and empowering intrapreneurs, so to speak.
Rarely before was there so much movement in the automotive industry. Mercedes-Benz Vans has founded a new department called Future Transportation in order to prepare for the challenges that are connected with that. Event reporter Markus Haubold visited the “think thank†to speak with managers and employees about the need and the opportunities of the cultural change as well as about new working methods and holistic solutions for the customers.
