Description

Now in paperback, with a new foreword by Fred Krupp, an expert's illuminating preview of the cleaner, lighter, smarter cars of the future.In Driving the Future, Margo T. Oge portrays a future where clean, intelligent vehicles with lighter frames and alternative power trains will produce zero emissions and run at 100+ mpg. With electronic architectures more like those of airplanes, cars will be smarter and safer, will park themselves, and will network with other vehicles on the road to drive themselves. As the director of the EPA’s Office of Transportation and Air Quality, Oge was the chief architect behind the Obama administration’s landmark 2012 deal with automakers in the US market to double the fuel efficiency of their fleets and to cut greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2025. This was America’s first formal climate action using regulation to reduce emissions through innovation in car design.Offering an insider account of the partnership between federal agencies, California, environmental groups, and car manufacturers that led to the historic deal, Margo discusses the science of climate change, the politics of addressing it, and the lessons learned for policy makers. She also takes the reader through the convergence of macro trends that will drive this innovation over the next forty years and be every bit as transformative as those wrought by Karl Benz and Henry Ford. Driving the Future is for anyone who wants to know what car they’ll be driving in ten, twenty, or thirty years—and for everyone concerned about air quality and climate change now.

I bought this book with the intent of learning more about the transformation of policy and regulation within the automotive industry and seeking an expert’s view of the future of the Transportation sector. I work in Oil and Gas, the private side.In the first section, Margo Oge delivers beyond my expectations a very tantalizing view into the beginning of the automotive industry, challenges with mega-city pollution and a unique introduction to climate change (before automobiles and modern day).In the second section, I was blown away from the inside view into the bureaucracy and politics that go into putting out good policies and gaining consensus from private industry. I was also impressed by how Oge worked with stakeholders to accomplish these regulations with little legal ramifications from the private sector. In fact she goes on to highlight that by being progressive, the EPA created jobs in the private sector, pioneering innovation through agriculture and automotive technologies. At first unbelievable, but after reading this book, I believe her group is a unique group in the EPA as they effectively created private jobs. I am shaking my head as I write this...unbelievable…I am very impressed.In the third section, I turned the pages with ease as Oge lays out the future of “autonomous automobiles." The future she envisions, and the road map she delivers are stitched together seamlessly. Expert intuition based on 30+ years. Thank you for the insight.O&G, you should pick up this book and give special attention to section three.
