We have spoken to many influential people across our industry, business and government related networks and have yet to find anyone not enthused at the concept.

“Art Center College of Design has a long history of        educating creative leaders that go on to influence the world. For decades our graduates have become design leaders within most of the significant transportation and automotive companies around the globe – and continue to do so as new mobility and logistics enterprises emerge in these rapidly changing times.

 

Dave and Geoff have long been committed to innovations for transportation and mobility solutions, leaving their mark on both industry and as educators here at ArtCenter. We support them in leveraging their creative capability to influence this fundamental industry, one that is critical to the future wellbeing of the planet, its people and this country’s economy. ArtCenter College of Design, its faculty and its students would welcome the opportunity of playing a role in The Futurama 2.0 Initiative and look forward to its success and lasting impact.”
