Speaker 1: People have started to move again after a year spent
Speaker 1: stuck in our homes. Record numbers of people are taking
Speaker 1: cross country road trips. They're flying to see loved ones.
Speaker 1: People are even coming back to public transit. It feels
Speaker 1: good to get moving, but all that travel puts a
Speaker 1: strain on our planets limited resources. Transportation is one of
Speaker 1: the biggest sources of greenhouse gas emissions, and as you've
Speaker 1: probably noticed, the need to cool our warming climate has
Speaker 1: never been greater. We have to rethink everything about how
Speaker 1: we get from point A to point B before it's
Speaker 1: too late. Welcome to the Future of X from Ozzi
Speaker 1: Media in partnership with Ford. Each season we give you
Speaker 1: a glimpse into what lies ahead for humanity. We've looked
Speaker 1: at how healthcare will change in the coming decades, asked
Speaker 1: what will become of the workplace, and dug deep into
Speaker 1: the future of farming. This season, we look at the
Speaker 1: future of mobility. I'm Josh lash, a producer with AZZI.
Speaker 1: I grew up in Southeast Michigan, the car capital of
Speaker 1: the world. Now I live in New York City, where
Speaker 1: I get around on bikes and trains. When I look
Speaker 1: at the future of mobility. I see a lot of
Speaker 1: reasons to worry, so there is an urgent need for
Speaker 1: us to significantly reduce at the amount of SUE two
Speaker 1: we admit. I also see an opportunity to build a better,
Speaker 1: more sustainable future for generations to come. Humans are ingenious, right,
Speaker 1: we solve all kinds of problems. Hop in, I'll show
Speaker 1: you what I'm talking about. We'll take an electrifying drive
Speaker 1: on the Great American Road Trip. As strange as an
Speaker 1: electric car was thirty years ago, a gasoline car would
Speaker 1: be in two decades. Or sit back and let science
Speaker 1: take the wheel. I think you see. You know, fifty
Speaker 1: years from now, you won't be driving your car. It
Speaker 1: will be driving you. It will be taking you to
Speaker 1: the places you want to go to. We'll take a
Speaker 1: part the vehicles we drive today, piece by piece, in
Speaker 1: order to build them back better. It's rethinking how we
Speaker 1: build cars. It's rethinking how we use cars. It's rethinking
Speaker 1: how we disassemble and rebuild cars out of those materials again,
Speaker 1: and take a peek under the hood at the technologies
Speaker 1: that will get us to a zero carbon future. It
Speaker 1: is now, it has been for a while, sort of
Speaker 1: the Wild West when it comes to next generation battery
Speaker 1: or fuel cell technologies. There's so many ideas out there.
Speaker 1: Everybody loves to move. How we choose to move, we'll
Speaker 1: determine what life looks like for the next generation. In
Speaker 1: order to avoid the worst of a changing climate, we'll
Speaker 1: need to rethink everything about what we drive and how
Speaker 1: we drive it, or if we even drive it at all.
Speaker 1: The future of mobility has the potential to elect or
Speaker 1: fire our imagination, sustain our planet, and connect us like
Speaker 1: never before. If you want to see how we get there,
Speaker 1: then get in and buckle up. It's going to be
Speaker 1: a wild ride. Listen to the Future of X Future
Speaker 1: of Mobility wherever you get your podcasts. The Ford Mustang
Speaker 1: mach E, the F one fifty Lightning, the Transit Van,
Speaker 1: three of America's most iconic popular vehicles. They've been fully electrified,
Speaker 1: and they're making the revolutionary feel familiar. We've got a
Speaker 1: feeling they will help make electric vehicles even more popular
Speaker 1: for all Americans. Call it a hunch forward Electric Vehicles
Speaker 1: built for America, Built Forward, Proud
