Waymo's Tekedra Mawakana

Tech is one of the bright spots today with many resourceful companies making a difference. In this issue we talk with Waymo’s Chief Operating Officer Tekedra Mawakana about the how self-driving vehicles are being used during the COVID crisis, consumer reactions to these new offerings, and how tech can benefit seniors and those with disabilities. Our summer issue also looks at the cross section of technology and urban farming, part of the smart cities vision, that is helping to enhance crop yields and grow huge amounts of food to feed local populations in unexpected places. Also, we look at intelligent lighting solutions for vehicles that include sophisticated tech for advanced driver assistance systems as well as future self-driving car technologies.

Features

The Internet of Edible Things

Whether it’s “precision agriculture” in rural fields or an aeroponic tower garden that takes up four square feet in an urban home, growing food now relies more on technology. 

Intelligent Lighting Solutions

There is much more to car lighting today than what is visible to the human eye. Sophisticated lighting technology underlies advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) as well as future self-driving car technologies and plays an important role in the vehicle’s passenger cabin.
