@esther
A lot of commentators do that at the end of a really depressing interview. At first we thought they meant it, "I see a lot of promise in the next generation. Many I talk to <ANECDOTE>". Its a fast, easy way to end on something that feels positive.

We think it often just creates #falseHope.Many young people are confused and distracted.

Part of it is likely #behaviourChange language and #suggestion to guide the young listener. "I'm young, I can <ANECDOTE>". Its still dishonest, though.

Hi all,

I'm a transport academic at University College Dublin, School of Civil Engineering - leading a group of PhDs and Post Doctoral researchers currently examining topics such as:
- The integration of micromobility with public transport modes & use for first and mile trips
- Travel behaviour change interventions for short distance trips
- Surface accessibility and mode choice to airports
- Travel and charging behaviour of EV owners/users
- Transport poverty and disadvantage in the context of energy poverty and justice
- Transport resilience to cyber and physical threats & serious games application for training and experiential learning

Main interests are in travel #behaviourchange and investigation of the human perspective of the #decarbonisation of transportation.

One would think, a stop at #behaviourChange would be appropriate

Improving #mobilty is one thing, but engineering behaviour by using an #autonomousDevice is another.

We are getting way too close to engineering a subhuman species, that we can plug in and play with when we want it, and otherwise store it away in a #humanFilingCabinet with #stimulants and #supplements, when we don't. Its just wrong, and dangerous.
