Persone, tecnologia e futuro della mobilità from Coursera

Ti diamo il benvenuto al corso Persone, tecnologia e futuro della mobilità. Questo corso fornisce un'introduzione non specialistica ad alcune delle principali innovazioni tecnologiche nello spazio della mobilità attualmente oggetto di studio e richiede agli studenti di applicare una varietà di concetti delle scienze sociali per comprendere i probabili impatti sociali di queste tecnologie. Il corso è adatto a studenti di ogni ambito di studi e non richiede una formazione preliminare in ingegneria o scienze sociali.

Il contenuto presentato in questo corso si basa su una serie di interviste e conferenze ed è stato creato attraverso una partnership con Siemens. Il corso include anche un'esperienza video interattiva a 360° che consente agli studenti di scoprire i componenti chiave di un veicolo autonomo, di guidarlo e di conoscere la nuova tecnologia di rilevamento che potremmo vedere nelle città intelligenti di oggi e domani.

Questo corso sfida gli studenti a immaginare una mobilità del futuro che sia più sicura, più pulita e più equa. Esamineremo i recenti progressi tecnologici, nonché le implicazioni socio-economiche e politiche, di due importanti spazi tecnologici in evoluzione legati alla mobilità: l'elettrificazione e l'automazione.
