President obamas top science adviser discusses the science and environmental initiatives of the Obama Administration and how they are changing in the Trump Administration. This is about an hour. Welcome, everyone. Thank you, thank you. Welcome to the American Association for the advancement of science, or aaas, as we call it, and welcome to our kickoff event for the historic march for science tomorrow. Im celeste rolfing, chief operating officer here. Its my distinct pleasure today to introduce our speaker, dr. John holdrun. John is a professor of environmental policy at the Kennedy School of government and professor of Environmental Science and policy in the department of earth and Planetary Sciences at harvard university. In 1995, john gave the acceptance speech for the Nobel Peace Prize on behalf of the pug wash conferences on science and world affairs, an International Organization of scientists and public figures in which he served in various leadership positions.

Have to measure a lot of things including the firing angle, engine speed, transmission speed, pressure, air flow, voltage. For batteries you need to measure voltage current. Temperatures. If you add all of the sensors together, i would say hundreds and typically 100 microprocessors. They are already getting this standardwith car. Now we are talking about adding more technology to interact with those. We are at the beginning of making cars intelligent enough to cooperate with other vehicles. Has been yourwhat biggest frustration in this project . That ismy biggest a tough one. Very complicated problem, not just limited to technology. Because after all, technologies must be doing something good for the society. Otherwise, we probably should not be doing it. We need to interact with so many different people, companies, government, students and so on. To bring the awareness to the society is very tough. I would not say i am frustrated, it is a tough job. It certainly takes more than what i

This week the communicators goes to the university of michigan near detroit where Car Companies are using a new test site called mcity. Car makers are experimenting with technology that allows cars to talk to each other and roads and traffic lights so there will be fewer traffic accidents. We spoke with a transportation analyst who studies this technology and with the director of the university of michigan Mobility Transformation Center. Host so, debra bezzina, where are we right now . Guest we are at the university of michigan in what we call mcity. It was built specifically to test, develop connected and Automated Vehicles. Host and this is a fake storefront in your background here, right . [laughter] guest this is a fake storefront. Basically, it can create different scenarios for connected and Automated Vehicles. And most of them youre trying to target the ones that are difficult, and you want to test and be able to repeat. When youre out on the street, its hard to repeat consisten
