Transportation is the basic tool for peaceful human evolution and interaction. However, today's technology for travel is causing us numerous problems regarding the environment, congestion, accidents, wars and use of valuable land. I believe that by clever engineering and open minds that we can create sustainable transportation for all.

Another Congested Day in Silicon Valley
I have had the opportunity to travel many times to the Bay Area in California, and experience the Silicon Valley culture. From my tiny perspective of getting around in a more intelligent way it strikes me over and over again how such a supposedly intelligent set of people in this place are so extremely ineffective in planning for a smarter transportation system. The VTA light rail is underutilized, the roads are congested. There are very few spaces for pedestrians and bicycles, and a lot of spaces for parking. All you Apple/Google/Yahoo/Facebook "geniuses", what about cleaning up your local act? You guys have the resources, brains and stamina to endure a dramatic change into a much better transit system and smarter world. Good article about the problems from the : SF Chronicle
