Rob James on the Twin Energy and e-Mobility Transitions

For decades, transportation and energy have been siloed—with largely separate development and pursuit of technologies, investment, companies, professionals and careers. That boundary has now dissolved as the energy sector undergoes sweeping decarbonization, and as the transport sector embraces electric and hydrogen propulsion and an astounding variety of mobility technologies—not least of which are connected and autonomous vehicles equipped with artificial intelligence.

Rob discussed the issues, challenges, and opportunities facing lawyers, managers, investors and policymakers as the fields converge. Decisions on environmental, regulatory and competition policy, incentivization of life-cycle investment, risks of new technologies, displacement of work and human relationships, and ethics will impact our infrastructure and the ways we all move and live.
