About
the Speaker:
Shai
Agassi, is Founder and CEO of Better
Place, which is building an innovative,
sustainable model for transportation
in which consumers subscribe to transportation
as a service, much like they do with
mobile phones.
About
the Series:
The
Brunel Lecture Series on Complex Systems,
presented by MIT's Engineering Systems
Division (ESD), was made possible
by funds assembled and underwritten
by Frank P. Davidson, convener of
the Channel Tunnel Study Group (1957).
It was this group's design, accomplished
by agreement with Bechtel Corporation,
Brown & Root, Inc. and Morrison-Knudsen
Company, Inc. in 1959, that formed
the basis of the subsea railway link
now in service between England and
France.
