Afeez welcomes Peter Miller to It’s Electric for part 1 of a 2 part conversation about autonomous cars, traffic, psychology and city design. Peter trained as a computer scientist and set up a business in process control and instrumentation. He’s done businesses in a few industries since, including one within the transportation industry. He rides an electric unicycle daily, and his family car is a Nissan Leaf.

In This Episode

  • Why cars don’t have great geometry
  • The psychological impact of cars
  • Why autonomous cars are a bad idea
  • Portable electric transportation is an exciting prospect to city planners
  • Smart cities are an important part of an electric future

“It was a great idea to have a valve radio, when no one had invented the transistor radio”

“The carpark for a restaurant will be far larger than the restaurant”

“You don’t have enough capacity for everyone to drive”

“The electric motor scales down in a way that the internal combustion engine does not”

Tune into Part 2 next week!
