. >> host: longtime technology journalist and author stephen baker is the co-author of this new book called "hop, skip, go." you write this book is about the coming age of mobility what do you mean by that? >> guest: well, it's an information revolution, and we've been watching it for the last half-century. it spread into computers and overwhelmed media and advertising, and then it spread into telephones and we were carrying around the internet wherever we went. in this next stage the internet and the mobile machines will be carrying us around. it's going to be an age in which all kinds of new choices are going to surface for us and going to be able -- were going to be able to go a lot of places and it will have a big effect on our cities. and at the same time companies and city governments are going to be able to manage our movements, and that will raise all kinds of questions about privacy. so it's just the next stage of the internet revolution. >> host: imagine a scenario, something you write about in your book, los angeles 2028. what should we expect? >> guest: well, one thing ab

stephen baker in "hop skip go" you have a futuristic vision where highways maybe the 405 in l.a. would be a bike path or walking path or return to nature. stephen: right. i think it's going to be a while before the 405 becomes a bike path. the idea is -- and helsinki is doing this. the idea is that if you have more people using -- not using cars, using other options to move around, then you can -- you won't need as many parking lots. the city -- the county of los angeles has an immense amount of parking. i think it's five times the area of paris in parking lots in san francisco, i mean, in los angeles. that's an enormous opportunity for parks, schools, swimming pools, malls, whatever -- whatever you want that doesn't have to be like that. in helsinki they have this venture that's called mobility as a service. and the idea is that you open yourself -- you open an app on a cell phone. it tells you how to get someplace and it has all of the connections. and they've got a lot of transit in helsinki. and it's all paid for with a monthly subscription. the idea is that if -- if -- you ca

baker, some would argue that cheap ubiquitous service is what we want. stephen: well, it is to a degree. but if it's so cheap and ubiquitous, you might send a car 20 miles to pick up a special type of paninni you like. so if people are -- if it's too cheap, it will get overused and overwhelm the infrastructure because it -- it involves moving molecules. and you only have a certain number of molecules you can move in a certain physical space. >> so what do you see as the role of government in this coming mobility age? stephen: well, government is going to have to take a much more active role than they did -- than they have in the internet revolution. and much more active than they did a century ago when cars came in. if you think about cars coming in to our cities over the last century, they basically colinized our cities. and much like -- as i was describing with bird, they developed their constituency. all motorists around the world. and then the motorists and the car industry forksed cities to build immense infrastructure. all these roads and basically to pave
