Episode notes

Tech has created a new problem or maybe shifted the problem. People are hungry for like some answer to their current transportation issue, says John Defterios. But does that mean it's really solving the fundamental problem of how people get around? "I would argue in many cases, it doesn't, right?" he asks.

Paris Marx is the host of the popular tech-critical podcast Tech Won't Save Us, and the author of a new book called Road to Nowhere: What Silicon Valley Gets Wrong about the Future of Transportation. On this week's episode, Paris joins Kirsten and Ed for a wide-ranging look at his left-of-center critiques of the mobility technology sector and his arguments for a less "solutionist" approach to our mobility challenges.
