She breathes, blinks, smiles, sighs, frowns, and her lips move when she speaks in a soft, considered tone.

The Fastest Changing Times: How Technology Changes Our Lives
A decade ago, the world was mostly still analog, and largely organized around the product. If you wanted to communicate with someone, you had to call them on the phone.

2000 Years From Now — How Does Life Looks Like?

Measuring the impacts of Shared and Electric Autonomous Vehicles (SAEV) on urban mobility.
Autonomous driving, connectivity, car sharing, electric vehicles, and the rise of renewable energy will all have powerful mutually reinforcing effects. For example, the introduction of self-driving cars in the 2020s will increase the use of EVs in high-use services such as ride-hailing because lower operating costs will offset the higher initial costs of these vehicles.
