Episode notes

Paris: The state needs to have a larger role in shaping the development of these technologies and the way that they're implemented. He says regulators should be more proactive in assessing these technologies before they hit the streets. "I think anybody who is interested in these topics would really benefit from this," he adds.

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.
