The future of mobility: 2050 and beyond | Carla Bailo | TEDxOhioStateUniversity
-
0:13 - 0:16Transport yourself into 2050.
-
0:16 - 0:20And think about
where you're going to be living, -
0:20 - 0:23where you're going to be working,
-
0:23 - 0:26and where you're going to go shopping,
-
0:26 - 0:29if we still go shopping
in that time frame. -
0:29 - 0:34And how you going to get
from place to place to place? -
0:35 - 0:38I've been in the automotive business
for 37 years, -
0:38 - 0:44and we've never seen a disruption
as we're seeing today. -
0:44 - 0:46People don't want to buy cars anymore.
-
0:48 - 0:50Young adults don't want
to get licenses anymore. -
0:50 - 0:54We're seeing mobility services
crop up everywhere. -
0:54 - 0:57But the big questions to me are three,
-
0:57 - 1:03and one is: how can we keep our roadways
safe and accident-free? -
1:03 - 1:06Secondly, how can we have
-
1:06 - 1:09or completely eliminate
our carbon footprint? -
1:09 - 1:12And thirdly, how can
we improve people's lives -
1:12 - 1:15especially those of the elderly
and the disabled? -
1:15 - 1:20And this is really
where smart mobility plays a huge role. -
1:20 - 1:23Smart mobility here in Ohio
will allow us to demonstrate -
1:23 - 1:25all of these technologies
-
1:25 - 1:31and also to provide the workforce
for this changing space. -
1:31 - 1:35So let's first talk about safety.
-
1:35 - 1:39This is the first year in about 12 years
-
1:39 - 1:43that we actually have an increase
in traffic fatalities on our roads, -
1:43 - 1:45and it's not small.
-
1:45 - 1:47Nationally, it's 8%.
-
1:47 - 1:51And of those increases
in traffic fatalities, -
1:51 - 1:5685% to 95% of those are caused
by human error. -
1:56 - 2:00We have to stop
killing ourselves in our cars. -
2:00 - 2:04So let me take you down
the road of safety. -
2:04 - 2:07First, we're going to start with ADAS
-
2:07 - 2:10to V2V, to V2Eye,
to autonomous, to your self-driving, -
2:10 - 2:13and don't worry I'll tell you
what all those things mean. -
2:13 - 2:18Up in the upper left-hand column,
what you're seeing is -
2:18 - 2:21what we call ADAS:
Advanced Driver Avoiding Systems. -
2:21 - 2:24And if you have a more recent car,
-
2:24 - 2:27it's all those things
that beep at you, and buzz at you, -
2:27 - 2:29and tell you need to do something
-
2:29 - 2:31because you're about to do
something stupid. -
2:31 - 2:35Like backup, auto-braking,
or forward collision warning -
2:35 - 2:36around view monitor.
-
2:36 - 2:40That's the beginning of smart technology,
-
2:40 - 2:43but that's only helping us
stay out of a problem. -
2:43 - 2:46We really need to make the car
think like a human. -
2:46 - 2:51The second phase is
vehicle-to-vehicle communication, V2V. -
2:51 - 2:53These are the vehicles communicating
-
2:53 - 2:56so that you know
what each other are doing. -
2:56 - 2:58And you can avoid, again,
-
2:58 - 3:01when the car beeps at you,
some potential situation. -
3:01 - 3:03Then, there's V2Eye,
vehicle-to-infrastructure. -
3:03 - 3:08And in this case, it's really
syncing with the signals -
3:08 - 3:10to allow us to move more efficiently,
-
3:10 - 3:15and also syncing with pedestrians
and/or construction zones -
3:15 - 3:18to keep those around us safe.
-
3:18 - 3:21This is really just the beginning;
-
3:21 - 3:24now we need to apply
the human intelligence, -
3:24 - 3:28make the product think like a human
so it can drive itself. -
3:29 - 3:32So now we're going to really get geeky.
-
3:32 - 3:35And I know it's probably scary hearing
an engineer say that she'll get geeky, -
3:35 - 3:37but I promise, I'll come back out.
-
3:37 - 3:39This is an autonomous car,
-
3:39 - 3:42and when we first started
thinking about autonomy, -
3:42 - 3:45we did the obvious thing,
we looked at nature. -
3:45 - 3:51And we looked at flocks of birds,
we looked at schools of fish. -
3:51 - 3:56Places where the animals
were densely packed, -
3:56 - 4:01moving at high speed,
all going towards the same place. -
4:01 - 4:05But they never run into each other,
they don't cause accidents. -
4:05 - 4:11So we thought we really need
to replicate that with sensors on the car. -
4:11 - 4:17And that's what we do
with about 18 to 20 different sensors. -
4:17 - 4:22The first and probably most important
is LIDAR - also the most expensive one - -
4:22 - 4:25which is Light Detection and Ranging.
-
4:25 - 4:26That's what allows us to see
-
4:26 - 4:30what's happening several car lengths
in front of where we are, -
4:30 - 4:33and gives you that complete,
around view sense of what's happening. -
4:33 - 4:38RADAR: everybody knows
what radar is from the weather I hope. -
4:38 - 4:40You know, the signals come back and forth;
-
4:40 - 4:44we can measure distance
and velocity with radar. -
4:44 - 4:45Third, camera.
-
4:45 - 4:48Everyone has a camera,
we all know what they are. -
4:48 - 4:51There's usually
between four and six of them -
4:51 - 4:55strategically mounted
so that the car can see 360°. -
4:55 - 4:59Your mother wasn't the only one
with eyes in the back of her head. -
4:59 - 5:02And next, GPS mapping
-
5:02 - 5:04so that we know where we are
and the roadways. -
5:04 - 5:08Some manufacturers use it a lot,
some don't use it so much. -
5:08 - 5:11Every company has their own philosophy.
-
5:11 - 5:13We take all of the data
from all those sensors -
5:13 - 5:17and create the programs
that allow the cars to drive themselves. -
5:17 - 5:20You see a couple of examples
on the screen behind me. -
5:21 - 5:23The question is
-
5:23 - 5:26and why do we need to do
more testing and evaluation is -
5:26 - 5:30we don't know what's going to happen
when a Google meets a Ford, -
5:30 - 5:32or a GM meets a Ford.
-
5:32 - 5:35Every car is programed
to think differently. -
5:35 - 5:38We need to know
how they're going to interact. -
5:38 - 5:40We need to put them out
on the roadway and try it out. -
5:40 - 5:42And then the other complication is
-
5:42 - 5:45we're going to have dumb cars
out there for a while; -
5:45 - 5:47they don't have any of this technology
-
5:47 - 5:50at least 11 to 15 years, maybe longer,
-
5:50 - 5:53because the average age of our car
today is about 11 years. -
5:53 - 5:55We have to know what's going to happen
-
5:55 - 5:59when these smart cars interact
with the dumb cars as well. -
5:59 - 6:04The Ohio Smart Mobility Initiative
- which you're seeing -
6:04 - 6:07in a drawing behind me
that you probably can't see - -
6:07 - 6:11one of the assets of the university
is the Transportation Research Center -
6:11 - 6:15which is a 4,500-acre proving ground
just down in East Liberty, Ohio. -
6:15 - 6:19And that's a contained test site
where we can test all kinds of products. -
6:19 - 6:24And not just cars, but we can test
trucks, we can test ag equipment, -
6:24 - 6:26we can test drones
-
6:26 - 6:30because in the new reality,
all of these products -
6:30 - 6:33are going to be sending up data,
5 pentabytes per second of data. -
6:33 - 6:35That has to be analyzed, understood,
-
6:35 - 6:38and then each has to do
what they are supposed to do. -
6:38 - 6:40So a contained testbed there,
-
6:40 - 6:45a contained testbed on the south side
of Columbus at the new SPARC stadium, -
6:45 - 6:47which is another 47-acre site
-
6:47 - 6:54and in between, over 30 miles of roadway
that we can test all kinds of products -
6:54 - 6:56and see what's going to happen
and learn from them. -
6:56 - 7:00We have to use Machine Learning
and make the cars learn and understand. -
7:01 - 7:05I talked about some other elements,
so let me go into those. -
7:06 - 7:10When we look at
what's happening with our cities, -
7:10 - 7:13urbanization by 2050,
-
7:13 - 7:1785% of the world's population
are going to be in cities -
7:17 - 7:21with 10 million people or more.
-
7:21 - 7:23That's huge, and we have to figure out
-
7:23 - 7:29how we're going to move people and goods
in and out of these congested areas. -
7:29 - 7:33And we have to do it, again,
with zero carbon footprint. -
7:33 - 7:38Truck platooning, an example here
where the first truck has a driver -
7:38 - 7:41and the last truck has a driver,
all those in between do not. -
7:41 - 7:45We can save between 7%
and 20% fuel economy. -
7:46 - 7:48Secondly, even in a traffic jam,
-
7:48 - 7:53there's about 20% of the roadway
that's not been utilized. -
7:53 - 7:55We don't know where it is,
-
7:55 - 7:58we can't see it as drivers,
but these cars can see it. -
7:58 - 7:59And then,
-
8:00 - 8:04the propulsion systems need to be clean;
-
8:04 - 8:09more EVs, more fuel cells, more hybrids,
-
8:09 - 8:16and most importantly, what we use
to power those zero-emission products -
8:16 - 8:19needs to be clean energy in our grid.
-
8:22 - 8:29Also by 2050, one of our largest growing
segments of population is 65 plus. -
8:30 - 8:33Which means we're going to have
a lot more elderly people, -
8:33 - 8:37disabled people or soon to be disabled,
mobility challenged. -
8:37 - 8:41And we have to maintain our independence.
-
8:41 - 8:44Here in the US,
we don't have extended families. -
8:44 - 8:47We expect our elderly
to manage their lives themselves, -
8:47 - 8:49and they want to.
-
8:49 - 8:52So by providing them not only with a way
-
8:52 - 8:56to get around down the roadways
with autonomous products -
8:56 - 8:58but personal mobility,
-
8:58 - 9:02automated wheelchairs,
other personal exoskeletal devices, -
9:02 - 9:06everything that allows them
to maintain their quality of life -
9:06 - 9:08both mental and physical.
-
9:09 - 9:14And then, when we think about
what this disruption is going to do, -
9:14 - 9:16you hear a lot of people talking about
-
9:16 - 9:18- as usual, when we have disruption -
-
9:18 - 9:23all these jobs are going to be challenged,
all these people will be unemployed. -
9:23 - 9:25We have to flip the page
-
9:25 - 9:31and think about all the businesses
possible in the Internet of Things. -
9:31 - 9:36And secondarily, with this technology
so rapidly approaching, -
9:36 - 9:40we need to think about
how we are going to continue -
9:40 - 9:43to keep our workforce fully up to speed
with what's happening. -
9:43 - 9:48The continuing education demands
are going to be so much more so -
9:48 - 9:50than the way that we operate today.
-
9:50 - 9:54And the opportunities
are going to be endless. -
9:55 - 9:57Columbus is quite clever.
-
9:57 - 10:00It was an intelligent city this year.
-
10:00 - 10:06And seeing all these changes
including in this area of Columbus, -
10:06 - 10:10another half million people
will be here by 2050. -
10:10 - 10:13They commissioned a study
called "Inside 2050", -
10:13 - 10:16which you can look it up,
and you can see the results. -
10:16 - 10:19And it was how we will manage
this influx of people -
10:19 - 10:22and not have urban sprawl,
-
10:22 - 10:26and be able to revitalize our urban city.
-
10:27 - 10:31We really took a look at
where we want to be in 2050, -
10:31 - 10:35and we highlighted areas
that we really need to work to improve, -
10:35 - 10:37where we have the gaps today.
-
10:37 - 10:40And it's primarily an exercise in data.
-
10:40 - 10:45The smart city is all about data,
and how we utilize data. -
10:45 - 10:48So the five areas are access to jobs.
-
10:48 - 10:51Everyone who lives here
needs to be able to get to and from -
10:51 - 10:53their place of employment.
-
10:53 - 10:54Smart Logistics: we have
-
10:54 - 11:00one of the largest urban delivery centers
inland ports in the nation. -
11:00 - 11:03And how we're going to get
those goods more efficiently? -
11:03 - 11:06And how we're going to do
with right size products? -
11:06 - 11:10And how we're going to do it
with better, clean energy? -
11:10 - 11:13Thirdly is connected citizens.
-
11:13 - 11:18We actually have mobility deserts
in the city of Columbus. -
11:18 - 11:21Areas where people
do not have their own cars, -
11:21 - 11:26they don't have access to public transit,
they don't have Internet, cell phone, -
11:26 - 11:29believe it or not,
they don't even have a credit card. -
11:29 - 11:33So we need to find solutions
so that we can provide mobility -
11:33 - 11:37for these areas,
same as everyone else in the city. -
11:37 - 11:42Next area is connected visitors,
and you probably like the Buckeye. -
11:44 - 11:46We have events here
in Columbus all the time, -
11:46 - 11:48and I had a great example last night.
-
11:48 - 11:52We had a Blue Jackets game,
we had an Ohio State hockey game, -
11:52 - 11:55we had the Arnold, we had TEDx,
-
11:55 - 11:59we had additional things going on,
-
11:59 - 12:02and all it was, was a huge bottleneck
everywhere around campus. -
12:02 - 12:04You can hardly get around.
-
12:04 - 12:08We need to think of smarter ways
to get people in and out of this city, -
12:08 - 12:12think about transit hubs,
think about people parking far away -
12:12 - 12:15and being shuttled in
in autonomous kinds of products. -
12:15 - 12:18We need to manage that,
again, zero carbon. -
12:18 - 12:20And lastly, sustainable transportation:
-
12:20 - 12:25we need to do more in the area
of zero emissions in our products. -
12:26 - 12:30Columbus is going to make this happen,
we're all engaged to make it happen. -
12:31 - 12:34So let me leave you with just one thought.
-
12:35 - 12:37And I call it triple zero:
-
12:37 - 12:41zero accidents and fatalities,
-
12:42 - 12:44zero carbon footprint,
-
12:45 - 12:48and zero stress, access for all.
-
12:48 - 12:50Thank you.
-
12:50 - 12:52(Applause)
