so they are going to be much more powerful market drivers for automation than there were for electrification. nonetheless, that doesn't mean we don't have to think strategically about the regulatory aspects and industrial policies undermining the transition from a standard vehicle we all drive ourselves with and so i think we should take the lessons from california and realized there's a small corner of the global economy of the act strategically and apply policies over a long period of time can end up setting the agenda and that's why forums like this and bringing together united states and germany to talk about the global cooperation on standards and on a road map for autonomyout going forward is so critically important. >> last last, sonya smith is the professor of critical engineering at howard university and i want to ask you about this international cooperation aspect jonathan margolis alluded to it or talked about it very directly in the introductory remarks and several of the co-panelists have alluded to that as well. when we think about auto development historically, we don't think

utilities, with a longer term perspective, they can capture, grid wide electrification, is a key source for potential, to move this market forward, not just on publicly available infrastructure, you might think of putting in front of

there was another factor that happened to have a much bigger influence on electrification and really ended up being the technology driver for the entire global automotive industry and that was the state of california, and the reason why is that the state of california has an institution embedded within their government called the california resource board that made it a priority to drive automakers towards electrification and they did this over the course of decades and they used a specific set of market-based tools paired with mandates in order to make that happen. what they did was they told automakers that if you want to sell cars in california, they have to make a percentage of them electric. which is a mandate. but that mandate is kind of draconian and potentially very expensive and inefficient. what if a carmaker doesn't have particular expertise in electric vehicles? that could force them to develop a whole new set of technical capabilities that, you know, maybe they don't want to invest in that moment. the thing california did to make this system much more efficient is they o

suggestion (buzzer) how did did that relate to the cal train time to expand capacity when the electrification goes live wi may out of room how long will that defer to make enough room on cal train the needs of the computers in the presentations thank you. >> good questions thank you. >> [inaudible]. >> okay. so that is all of our business we're adjourned.

electrification of the countryside, yes, that, too is impressive. a rich harvest in a hungry land is impressive. the sight of healthy children in a classroom is impressive. these, not mighty arms, are the achievements which the american nation believes to be impressive. and if we are steadfast, the time may come when all other nations will also find it so. every night before i turn out the lights to sleep, i ask myself this question. have i done everything that i can do to unite this country? have i done everything i can to help unite the world to try to bring peace and hope to all the peoples of the world? have i done enough? ask yourselves that question in your homes and in this hall tonight. have we, each of us us all done all we could? have we done enough? we may well be living in the time foretold many years ago when it was said i call heaven and earth to record this day against you that i have set before you life and death blessing and cursing, therefore choose life that both thou and thy seed may live. this generation of the world must choose

understand what you are telling me >> in the big sense, in the long term we're talking about electrification, of transportation of all forms and sizes, transit, large buses ult ultimate ultimately, heavy duty vehicles as well, that is longer off, probably, but from the large scale, down through personal family if you will, cars down to electrified, two wheel transportation scooters bikes, that can play a big role in terms of clean, sustainable urban transportation, we're looking at all of it. generally, we with talk to the short to medium term we're focusing on the passenger vehicle part of it that is where most of the technology and market activity is now. we're clearly trying to position ourz to work in all sectors. >> thank you. >> i just want to say that i loved the language around inclusion and community access was really great frame to look at this. i want to say that was felt definitely up here where we're sitting, thank you. and excited to hear from our speakers colleagues do you want to wait to the end, or want to ask individual speakers questions, wait to the end, is that how we do

i will be an enabler for more electrification, because people can move the vehicle and get as far asharge in fairly reasonable amount of time and keep knowing. reporter: -- keep going. reporter: there are solar panels on the roof. gigi your cmac solar and concept here -- energy concept. is that feasible or just one? >> putting solar on top of a vehicle is feasible. the question is when does it make sense to do it. technology expense involved. and can you get enough energy to make it worthwhile. i think we are still deciding on that. if you look at solar in general, the prices of come down, but we need to make sure that the customer gets the benefit. we are still continuing to look at that. ♪ angie: the lion city is a roaring. first quarter gdp coming in better than expected their demands away from the opening of trading in singapore. you are watching us on "first up." top stories this hour, singapore is maintaining growth after the economy grew faster than expected in the first quarter. grew 2.6% year on year. forecasting growth between 2%-4% for the full year. greece returns to the

based on three big pillars, energy efficiency, zero or low carbon electricity, and essentially electrificationthe coast. the good news is we will all be driving test was soon, or the equivalent. they are a lot of fun, they are much better cars and they don't emit greenhouse gases out of the tailpipe. and to this is the kind of change that we are going to need in the future. we are going to need public-private partnerships to develop and diffuse the technologies for the era of sustainable develop whether it's in energy systems agriculture systems, smart cities or ict enabled health, education and government. i think our governance institutions also need radical overhauls. i'm looking forward to the day when we all draft legislation together and we all vote on it and we can bypass what's going down, up and down the block in congress where they don't represent us and we don't need them to represent us anymore. against unlike 1789 we don't have to take our horse and carriage to washington. we can actually decide as citizens. it's an example but i think it's an important idea that we can use our ne

that will be an enabler for more electrification.. to recharge in a reasonable amount of time and keep going to their destination. reporter: there are solar panels on the roof up here. ax concept, youcm are going to put solar panels on the car. is that feasible? >> putting solar on vehicles is feasible. the question is, when does it make sense to do it? there is some expense involved. can you get enough energy to make it worthwhile? i think we are still deciding on that. you look at solar in general, prices have come down. we need to make sure the customer gets the benefit. we are continuing to look at that angle. let's get a check of stories making headlines around the world. 500 people have died in a heat wave in india with temperatures approaching 50 degrees celsius. southern states have been worst affected. the heat is being felt all the way north to delhi. roads have been largely deserted during daylight hours as people and animals seek a way to cool off. authorities are urging outdoor workers to take precautions with high for 1

not just the track, but the electrification and make sure everything is working. have a big job ahead of them. but i know this is hugely important. it's shutting down a vital transportation link. >> yeah, it will be tough. thanks so much for joining us. >> thank you. >>> and coming up it's a huge week for art sales with auction house christy's alone on track to sell more than $1.5 billion in art. a cleeer look ercho closer look next. and then we will talk trade deals with paul ryan in the next hour. why do we do it? why do we spend every waking moment, thinking about people? why are we so committed to keeping you connected? why combine performance with a conscience? why innovate for a future without accidents? why do any of it? why do all of it? because if it matters to you it's everything to us. the xc60 crossover. from volvo. lease the well equiped volvo xc60 today. visit your local volvo showroom for details. >>> an art auction bonanza here in new york with record breaking sales rocking the art world. robert frank with the lateettestlatest. >> reporter: sother

truth is when you sinner jazz these, car sharing autonomy, electrification, fleet management you get these terrific possibilities in terms of more efficient use of capital, urban land management, you know imagine if you could eliminate parking. that's a huge amount of land within the city that we could use for so many productive causes. so i think it is really important to think about these issues systematically and not to just take them piecemeal, and figure out what are the ultimate implications of potentially bringing some of these various technologies together. so i think it is a terrific question, something we have to think a lot about. >> evelyn smith with american enterprise institute. my question is for jessica. you were mentioning that in the autonomous trucks that are being tested in nevada that there's not -- there's still a vehicle manager in the car. so i think there's a public perception that this technology will eliminate a lot of jobs, seems not the case in the short term. is there a skill required to be a vehicle manager, a different type of job will replace a truck

the northeast corridor they have not just track that is highly utilized but the overhead electrification that they have to take care of. europe made very different decisions with respect to investment in transportation. they have prioritized an intermodal policy and the things that they have done. they are not very close when it comes to that investment in rail we have not done that in the united states. >> the addressing infrastructure is major. i understand the last crash of this magnitude along the north eastern corridor was near baltimore in 1987 and that particular accident with safety safety reforms, what would you advocate with new safety reforms right now. for example, should people in the train wear seatbelts? >> that accident near baltimore, i think you are talking about chase maryland that instigated a lot of changes in the railroading industry and the transportation industry as a whole with respect to drug and alcohol testing. they will be being looking to learn any lessons they can from this event. that draws into sharp focus whether it's an operating or infrastructure issue

in health, we're not doing major innovations in transportation and energy nothing similar to electrification or telephonic communication. what's the big deal? so i don't think we have a better person on our team to talk about these pessimistic views of technology coming from the economics acommunity and your sense of where the big technological changes are coming from and is it all i.t. and software? >> let me just say how much i appreciate the chance to participate in this dialogue, the work that you and eric have done, andy and the hamilton project. i think we're talking about unraveling this complicated set of linkages between teng and work and it's so core to what's important for our values and our fiech really think it is terrific. i want to take the conversation a very different direction and talk about technology itself. the word technology has almost become synonymous. many people use it synonymously with information technology. if you read "the new york times," their technology section is only about information teblg. everything else is relegated to the science section. but in fact,
