“The Future of A to B” with the Future of Automotive Mobility Club

The Future of A to B, moderated by Tuck Professor Ramon Lecuona, will discuss the future of commuting and feature Motor Trend Editor-in-Chief Edward Loh, YouTube sensation and carsandbids.com founder Doug DeMuro, and The Fast Lane Truck Managing Editor Andre Smirnov.

Our discussion will center around what commuting will look like in the future. Will we continue to own cars? How will commuting look like in cities, suburbs, and the countryside? How will new technologies change our relationship with the automobile? What will this mean for automotive enthusiasts? Our panelists will bring their unique viewpoints and experiences to this conversation and give us a glimpse at what the future of A to B will look like. We look forward to seeing you there!

Time: 12:00 p.m. EST

Join the Revers Center for Energy, the Tuck Africa Club, and The Irving Institute on Wednesday, February 24th, 12 p.m. (EST) as we discuss the smart energy policy that Africa needs to grow and fight Climate Change with Rose Mutiso in the second edition of the Made in Africa Speaker Series. She will discuss Africa’s expected growth that will be underpinned by a massive increase in the continent’s energy usage. But, the current spate of climate adaptation strategies threatens the energy supply required to power that growth. For Africa to fulfill its ambition as the next global market and mitigate the dire consequences of Climate Change, it will need more energy, not less.
