Caltech/MIT Enterprise Forum "Greening Your Ride" Open Questions

On April 16th, 2011 the Caltech/MIT Enterprise Forum hosted an event exploring entrepreneurial opportunities in the transportation sector.  Experts from academia, public programs, non-profits, private business, entrepreneurs, and the government were all represented. The day was intended to provoke discussions relating to open problems in transportation.

I was motivated to attend the conference to learn a little bit more about the transportation industry.  I wanted to learn what the hot topics were and I wanted to learn how people were solving transportation problems.  At the conference, I wanted to find out who is the architect of our automobile networks, and what principles guide their design choices. Although I did not accomplish this, I did learn a great deal.
