KQED Silicon Valley Conversations: The Future of Your Commute

February 5, 2019 @ 7 pm
KQED Studios, San Francisco

Can technology solve your dreaded commute? Do we need smarter urban design? Will autonomous vehicles rationalize the road? Will shared e-scooters cover that last mile to your final destination? KQED Silicon Valley Bureau Chief Tonya Mosley talks to innovators working to understand the causes of everyday Bay Area transportation headaches and create solutions for a swifter, safer, more equitable commute.

We will be joined by Peter Calthorpe, urban planner at Calthorpe Associates, Dr. Melissa Cefkin, researcher at Nissan, and Sanjay Dastoor, the co-founder and CEO of Skip.

Thanks for coming out!

	Pip pip! Thanks to you all for a marvelously British afternoon at our Victoria Season 3 premiere screening event at the Castro Theater! We were joined by the time-travelling Mr. Skimpole, Miss Ada Clare, and their companions in historical Victorian dress, who welcomed all to a packed theater.

	Together we witnessed a young queen stare down the barrel of revolution, and we’re dying to know where things are headed next for our determined monarch! And our cheeky double-feature documentary Tea with the Dames (2018) treated everyone to a candid tea time with four of the English stage and screen’s living legends, including Downton Abbey’s own Dame Maggie Smith and Dame Judi Dench!

Having you with us turned that rainy Saturday afternoon into an occasion fit for royalty! Cheerio!
