This is 100% legitimate, having witnessed the take-off and landing of the Joby Aviation S4 in the flesh... what does this mean practically for our communities, though? It means localized access to air transportation without noise pollution irritation AND without polluting our planet by proliferating nasty carbon emissions. The data is compelling, but the experience is breathtaking (as Kenji Sugahara and I are documented on video 😂 proclaiming). #aam #evtol #sustainableaviation

The question of the century.. What is the ideal vehicle for overlanding? 🤔 Let’s open the conversation.  Starting with the so-called ‘A-list’ overlanding vehicles: Land Cruiser, Defender, Hilux, 4 Runner and the Tacoma. Much like any journey, the adventure is on the road, and not at the end of it; so start with what you’ve got, and join the #OverlandEvolution. We open up the floor to you, what is the most ideal vehicle for Overlanding? 😎

Living near an airport often means dealing with noise from air traffic. However, the aviation industry is making strides with revolutionary technology that enables quieter flights. From enhancing the flying experience to fulfilling the desire to explore the world from above, aviation not only reduces travel time but is promising to minimizes noise. Yet, eventually increasing number of airborne vehicles raises concerns about visual pollution, especially as they fly at lower altitudes. Balancing the benefits of futuristic air travel with potential visual disruptions is a crucial consideration for the evolving landscape of transportation. #evtol #vtol #airmobility #transport #mobility #airtaxi #urbanmobility #urbandevelopment #urbantransport

#AutonomousVehicles very safe, and provide a crucial #mobility option for a variety of riders. We were thrilled to have hosted a group of folks from a local assisted living facility who wanted to experience CranesRIDES, our AV system launched in July by the City of Altamonte Springs, FDOT Central Florida Florida Department of Transportation, and Beep, Inc. One of our visitors, Lloyd told us that he was 99-years old and wanted to try out our system. Beep's vehicles are all #ADA-compliant, and can host riders in wheelchairs and walkers. Lloyd said "I have arrived!" as he was getting off CraneRIDES. He said he never thought he'd see this kind of stuff. Well, he did and we were honored to be a part of that moment for him! AV mobility can provide a safe, clean, and convenient option for people. One of the purposes of CraneRIDES is to create a "how to" manual that the State and the City can share with other cities in Florida to help them efficiently launch AV systems in their communities too. Both the City and Beep are proud members of the Automated. Connected. Electric. Shared. (ACES) Mobility Coalition - which is a national group helping to inform and influence federal legislation relating to safe transportation modes, like AV systems, that are shared, connected and smarter, and that do not require expensive, unmovable legacy infrastructure that cannot easily change as communities change. That also benefits taxpayers too, and that is our focus as well.

I appreciate the lower sound level. Sound pollution and light pollution are so important to address. Sound travels through walls and light keeps on going. Most Americans are constantly exposed to the sound levels of perpetual rainfall and don’t get to experience real quite which is necessary to connect with the world around us. Most Americans don’t get to experience real night time with light levels like constant moon light. Animals and plant sense the world differently from us and are effected by sound and light. Their life cycles depend on tuning in. And unlike other forms of pollution, sound and light can be addressed immediately by turning off the light or souce of sound.

Growth and family are two things we value the most at Bauer Built. Building a career here allows you to address both of them. Learn more about the benefits of working in the automotive industry. https://lnkd.in/gukp_UE2

Ohio's Lordstown automotive manufacturing facility provides a cautionary tale for the importance of timely competitiveness. The US needs globally competitive, affordable, desirable, dependable EVs. Companies, facilities, employees, cities, and society will reap the consequences, negative or positive, but reinvention is likely required to thrive and survive. US tariffs and policies will likely provide little time for US-based automakers and suppliers to reinvent themselves to survive, thrive, and compete locally and globally as automakers face Lordstown vs. Freemont decisions. #transportantionelectrification #innovation #manufacturing #management #success

As we say at Ford, be curious! Let's look at the history of Detroit. Did you know that the Cadillac car brand got its name from the French founder of Detroit? Founded as a city by Antoine de la mothe Cadillac, a French military leader and trader. Fort Pontchartrain du Detroit started as the new France fur trading post, it has French influence in the street layout of the city. Did you know that in 1920 it was the 4th largest America city (after New York, LA, and Chicago) and that at its population peak of 1.8M in 1950, Detroit was the nation's 5th largest US city? Original home to the native tribes Ojibwe (also called Chippewa), the Odawa (also called Ottowa), Huron, and the Potawatomi (also called the Bode'wadmi).
