Las personas, la tecnología y el futuro de la movilidad from Coursera

¡Bienvenido al curso Las personas, la tecnología y el futuro de la movilidad! Este curso ofrece una introducción no especializada a algunas de las principales innovaciones tecnológicas que se desarrollan actualmente en el ámbito de la movilidad y en el que se invita a los estudiantes a aplicar diversos conceptos de las ciencias sociales para comprender las posibles consecuencias sociales de estas tecnologías. El curso está dirigido a estudiantes de todos los niveles y no requiere formación previa en ingeniería o ciencias sociales.

El contenido que se presenta en este curso se basa en una serie de entrevistas y clases, y se creó en asociación con Siemens. El curso también incluye una experiencia interactiva de vídeo en 360º que permite a los estudiantes explorar los componentes principales de un vehículo autónomo, dar un paseo en un coche autónomo y conocer la nueva tecnología de detección que podríamos ver en las ciudades inteligentes de hoy y del futuro.

En este curso se desafía a los estudiantes a imaginar la movilidad del futuro de forma más segura, limpia y equitativa. Analizaremos los recientes avances tecnológicos, así como las implicaciones socioeconómicas y políticas, de dos importantes espacios tecnológicos en evolución relacionados con la movilidad: la electrificación y la automatización.
