We will meet first at Transdev office to get a presentation on the role Transdev plays in the development of autonomous vehicles in collaboration with Waymo, a top pioneer in the field.

That presentation will be followed by a driverless Waymo taxi experience.

The ’"Interplanetary Initiative” and the "Center for Science and the Imagination” (https://csi.asu.edu/) from ASU (Arizona State University).

A space-focused afternoon, where, among other things, we’ll learn how a university is advancing humanity’s footprint across the solar system and beyond and reimagining research and education in preparation for an interplanetary future. We’ll tour labs and cleanrooms where spacecraft and instruments are built, including a student run lab that builds and launches satellites.

We’ll learn how the university brings together the arts and social sciences - writers, visual artists, economists, historians, lawyers – with scientists and engineers to create solutions for the benefit of humans in space and on Earth. The program will also include a presentation on: “Creating Collaborative Narratives for Possible Space Futures”.
