What's Next Atlanta Podcast: Episode #4 -
Living in a Driverless World

Driverless cars and “connected technology” are making headlines across the country and right here in metro Atlanta. But why should any of this interest any but the tech-nerdiest among us?

In this episode, we find out. We learn which metro Atlanta communities and companies are, at this moment, testing vehicles that drive themselves—and the infrastructure that talks to them. Plus, we learn about this technology’s potential impact, such as the ways our communities are mapped, vehicle ownership, the job market, and equity issues. When tech advances, who benefits?
