When watching this ted Talk with Freeman Shen’s thinking this argument that cars are leaning more towards electricity and less gasoline-filled cars in China in the eastern part of our world is crazy. This story intrigued me and my thinking on this was: Why do we still go towards waste and fossil fuel-related sources to fuel the world’s finest machines? Noone will ever know, because resources and electricity are more needed at a higher rate than ever now.

The author who works for a company WM Motor in China his name is Freeman H.Shen and when he mentions a quote that says: “This might seem like a crazy thing to say, but I’m hoping for a future with fewer cars” This quote made my mind think, how are we supposed to get less pollution and gas in our cars when most of the world produces those items anyways?

Making a point on that certain cars really need to be more electrically fueled and have more sensors is great and incorporating alert systems for each outcome that is possible on the road is really a great idea and I think it will help with less gas usage throughout our transportation in the world. This would make our environment and planet healthier and more productive with sales.

Being a fan of this topic because some of the other quotes mentioned in this article are very reasonable and realistic in our world today. For example when Shen mentions; “Governments across the world are committed to changing the way we move” He is relating to the citizens of the world taking a group effort and trying to change the narratives of our car production. We don’t need just one move or one action to create change, it takes all of us in the world to make a difference.

When Shen mentions stuff about robots/AI becoming a factor in production and businesses around the world with this quote: “These technologies are creating cars that can talk to us and the world around us and act accordingly, to have significant impacts on our cities and the way we live in them”

His meaning is the more we can create higher volumes of faster acting and safer machines that are tested to make sure that we get the goals that we are looking for, like fewer gas emissions and releases, it will reduce the amount of traffic, public transportation will become more important over time and car usage will be down, which will indeed make the planet more efficient and acting on key situations like limiting accidents and parking spaces needed by us humans.

In conclusion, this topic gets to the main ideas of changing cars and making our economic growth with more natural and renewable resources so that the economy and industries can succeed and that our technology can help us be aware of any awkward or unsafe situation, so we can stop it and be calm at the moment. Great article and I would highly recommend being safe and truly considering unusual ways of transportation soon.
