We Could Be The Last Car-Owning Generation, Says Transportation Secretary Foxx

The White House's first-ever Frontiers Conference is underway in Pittsburgh, gathering ideas across science, technology, and robotics. Which now also includes transportation. The Urban Transportation Future panel discussed issues related to driverless cars and an autonomous future. U.S. Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx, mayor of Pittsburgh William Peduto, Zipcar co-founder Robin Chase, and Zoox CEO Tim Kentley-Klay all gathered to discuss what's to come in the self-driving car space. "[My wish] is that people can imagine not owning cars," said Chase, stressing the idea of driverless vehicles not just replacing personal cars but offering an alternative to ownership altogether.
