Publications and Media

Aside from my book, I write about mobility innovation, transportation, driving automation, public transit, and technology policy for an educated audience of non-specialists. My work appears in a variety of outlets, including The Wall Street Journal, Arena, The Daily Economy, and Asterisk.
