People have started to move again after

0:11

a year spent stuck in our homes. Record

0:13

numbers of people are taking cross country road trips.

0:16

They're flying to see loved ones. People

0:18

are even coming back to public transit. It

0:25

feels good to get moving, but all

0:27

that travel puts a strain on our planets

0:29

limited resources. Transportation

0:32

is one of the biggest sources of greenhouse gas emissions,

0:35

and as you've probably noticed, the need

0:38

to cool our warming climate has never

0:40

been greater. We have to rethink

0:42

everything about how we get from point A to

0:44

point B before it's too late.

0:51

Welcome to the Future of X from

0:53

Ozzi Media in partnership with Ford. Each

0:56

season we give you a glimpse into what lies

0:58

ahead for humanity. We've looked

1:00

at how healthcare will change in the coming decades,

1:03

asked what will become of the workplace, and

1:06

dug deep into the future of farming. This

1:08

season, we look at the future of mobility.

1:13

I'm Josh lash, a producer with AZZI.

1:16

I grew up in Southeast Michigan, the car capital

1:19

of the world. Now I live in New York City,

1:21

where I get around on bikes and trains. When

1:24

I look at the future of mobility. I

1:26

see a lot of reasons to worry, so

1:30

there is an urgent need for

1:32

us to significantly reduce

1:35

at the amount of SUE two we admit.

1:38

I also see an opportunity to build a better,

1:40

more sustainable future for generations

1:42

to come. Humans are ingenious,

1:44

right, we solve all kinds of problems. Hop

1:47

in, I'll show you what I'm talking about. We'll

1:50

take an electrifying drive on the Great American

1:52

Road Trip. As strange

1:54

as an electric car was thirty years

1:56

ago, a gasoline car would

1:58

be in two decades. Or

2:01

sit back and let science take the wheel. I

2:04

think you see. You know, fifty years from now,

2:06

you won't be driving your car. It will be driving you.

2:08

It will be taking you to the places you want

2:10

to go to. We'll take a part the vehicles

2:13

we drive today, piece by piece, in

2:15

order to build them back better. It's

2:17

rethinking how we build cars. It's rethinking

2:19

how we use cars. It's rethinking how we disassemble

2:23

and rebuild cars out of those materials again,

2:25

and take a peek under the hood at the

2:27

technologies that will get us to a zero carbon

2:29

future. It is now, it has been

2:32

for a while, sort of the Wild West when

2:34

it comes to next generation battery or

2:36

fuel cell technologies. There's so many ideas

2:39

out there. Everybody loves

2:41

to move. How we choose to move,

2:43

we'll determine what life looks like for the next generation.

2:47

In order to avoid the worst of a changing climate,

2:49

we'll need to rethink everything about what we

2:52

drive and how we drive it,

2:54

or if we even drive it at all. The

2:57

future of mobility has the potential to

2:59

elect or fire our imagination, sustain

3:02

our planet, and connect us like never

3:04

before. If you want to see how we get

3:06

there, then get in and buckle

3:08

up. It's going to be a wild ride.

Listen to the Future of X Future of Mobility

3:14

wherever you get your podcasts. The

3:26

Ford Mustang mach E, the

3:29

F one fifty Lightning, the

3:31

Transit Van, three of America's

3:34

most iconic popular vehicles.

3:36

They've been fully electrified, and

3:38

they're making the revolutionary feel

3:41

familiar. We've got a feeling

3:43

they will help make electric vehicles even

3:45

more popular for all Americans.
